Chimera
Artist: Susan Flavell
Asset Type: Public Art
Year of Work: created in 2016, installed 2018
Location: Pioneer Park, Market Street
Provenance: City of Fremantle
Description: In Greek mythology, the chimera was a beast formed from parts of a lion, a goat and a dragon. The name lends itself to a variety of genetic mutations including patches of unique skin pigmentation, hair and odd eye colours in humans.
Although a loose interpretation of the chimera, Susan Flavell’s friendlier bronze chimera stands in clear view of Fremantle train station, welcoming travellers to Western Australia’s cappuccino strip.
