acanthus

In this place, in rooms imbued with the culture and symbolism of the northern hemisphere, decisions are made that guide the future of our city. 

Echoing the acanthus leaf motif in a reprocessed modern material, a new form is created and attention is drawn to the continuing cultural transformation of the greater Hobart region.

Digitally crafted from repurposed milk bottle plastic, the motif is repeated and fused in geometric patterns.  The raw material is collected from homes and businesses around Hobart, highlighting the changing attitudes towards the recycling and repurposing of materials.
