The Orb

Frankston City Public Art Seaford

Description

Description

Designed and constructed locally, the orb uses the indigenous Coastal Banksia (Banksia integrifolia) for inspiration. It consists of stylised banksia leaves enveloping a bright yellow banksia flower illuminated from within at night. The orb also has the word ‘Seaford’ etched on a banksia leaf noting its location in the Seaford civic precinct. Council fully funded the project.
