Meander

Frankston City Public Art Frankston

Description

Description

Located: Kananook Commuter Car Park

Artist: Ben Fasham

Artist Interpretation:

The Sculpture title "meander" is fabricated from stainless steel and features a patinated blue sphere as a key design element, along with being a signature feature of the Artists' sculptures.

The finish on the stainless steel reflects the shimmering of the water in Kananook Creek and the straight lines represent the flow of the water, whilst the blue sphere serves as a vibrant focal point, adding contrast and visual interest.

Kananook will be the permanent home of this sculpture, which is a fitting place for "Meander" as it evokes the natural surroundings of the area.  The meandering form might mimic the curves of a river or pathway, while the blue sphere could symbolize water or the sky.  The interaction between the organic flow of the sculpture and the geometric simplicity of the sphere might reflect the balance between nature and human made structures.
