This is a part of the newly completed commission for a public sculpture, large front of building bas relief screens and car park screens for the Long Tan RSL Lifecare facility in Newcastle.

The Pod Front Screens are caste stainless steel which measure 3.5m wide x 2.7 m high, and 3.5m wide x 1.3m high in the screen above the awning.  These screens depict multiple seed pods in bas relief. They mimic the pod of the Valour sculpture and serve to reiterate the valour theme for the building.

The screens relate to the Valour Sculpture which commemorates Major Peter Badcoe who served in Vietnam and the servicemen who fought in the Battle of Long Tan, Vietnam. (Refer also Valour Sculpture)

This is one part of a newly completed commission for a public sculpture, large front of building bas relief screens and car park screens for the Long Tan RSL Lifecare facility in Newcastle.

The Sculpture is titled ‘Valour’ and commemorates Major Peter Badcoe who served in Vietnam and the servicemen who fought in the Battle of Long Tan, Vietnam.

The Valour Sculpture stands 2.5metres tall and is made of stainless steel and glass. In creating the concept for the sculpture, I used an analogy of a native seed pod releasing its seed in times of stress such as in a bushfire. This is a survival of the species mechanism.  In war, in times of extreme stress and literally under fire, acts of bravery are exemplified in the heroic deeds of Major Badcoe & the Long Tan soldiers. In my sculpture, the stainless steel pod represents our soldiers and their bravery is symbolised in glass seed  by the colours of Major Badcoe’s medal ribbons.

This is part of a newly completed commission for a public sculpture, large front of building bas relief screens and car park screens for the Long Tan RSL Lifecare facility in Newcastle.

The Newcastle Triptych are car park screens spanning 6m high x 22.5m long. They are comprised of 30 laser cut aluminium panels coloured with commercial exterior paint. They depict native plants in the foreground and well-known landmarks of Newcastle and surrounds to create a sense of patriotism of country & place.
