"Symbiotica" 2016
Design concept : Paul Johnson and Gail Mason
http://www.artventureaustralia.com/
Entry sculpture for the Western Australian Botanic Garden
Kings Park, Perth, WA.
8.5m high x 14m wide
Aluminium, copper, dichroic glass.
"Symbiotica" alludes to both plant and insect elements - stamen, petals, seeds, leaves and wings. It gives form to the mutually beneficial relationship between the plant and animal worlds, without which there would be no gardens.
The patterns in the metal are derived from 11 species of seeds endemic to Western Australia. The dichroic glass represents the iridescent colours on the wings of birds and insects.

"Touch” 2014
Design concept : Paul Johnson and Gail Mason
http://www.artventureaustralia.com/
9.5m high x 18.5m long; aluminium, polycarbonate, plasma-cut Corten steel and programmed LED lighting
Location: Marriott Waters Reserve, Lyndhurst, VIC. Client: City of Casey, VIC
This sculpture alludes to the energy and movement in the nearby sport fields. The two arcs describe enormous energy meeting at a point of compressed power - exploding at night with high-voltage sparks. The shapes also echo the oval sports grounds and the movement of the ball. The plasma-cut drawings in the central gallery are replicas of football themed drawings provided by children from the City of Casey.

“Tillage” 2014
Design concept : Paul Johnson and Gail Mason
http://www.artventureaustralia.com/
19.0 x 8.0 x 5.5m high; painted and Corten steel
Client: City of Kingston, VIC Location: Dingley Village, VIC
As a response to the particular history of this region, “Tillage” embraces the fundamental process of preparing the soil for agriculture, for cultivation within the Australian landscape. The work is a series of suspended furrows arching above the ground in shapes that evoke metal tools, wheels, discs and other working farm machinery. At ground level is a matching series of furrows created from low planting that reaches from one side of the roundabout to the other.
