Cone Shell

Artist: Anne Neil, Steve Tepper

Asset Type: Sculpture

Year of Work: 2005

Location: 1 Preston Street, Como - Melville Parade

Provenance: City of South Perth

Description: Since settlement, this beautiful river location at Como has been a most popular place to spend leisure and free time. It was a popular holiday destination early last century, particularly for those from the bush - the river and sand being a great attraction. This leads us to the idea of using shells collected along the beach as a source of inspiration – a reference to holidays and playing in the sand.

Memory Markers

Artist: Anne Neil

Well laid out paths wind in and about the trees and lawns, and everywhere care, intelligence, skill and a remarkable capability for extracting every possible advantage out of a small means are apparent."

In 2006, the City of Perth Art Foundation commissioned artist Anne Neill, in collaboration with landscape architects Blackwell & Associates and heritage consultant Barbara Dundas to design an artwork for this entry to Stirling Gardens.
