This major new sculptural work by John Meade has been conceived in response to the large glassed atrium space of Melbourne's Southgate, in view of the Yarra River. Six discrete suspended elements combine to bring a sense of cascading movement above and past the viewer. The relationship between each of the complex, organic, large-scale forms is intended to shift as one moves around the work, and it has been situated to accentuate this interplay.
