Artworks set to inspire<br />
Talking point: Our city’s history to be honoured in <strong>Parra</strong>matta Square<br />
Story continued from » p. 1<br />
Reko Rennie’s ‘Where Eels Lie Down’<br />
honours the history of the eel in<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta through a large-scale work<br />
representative of two eels rising from the<br />
ground and crossing each other as they<br />
play.<br />
Visitors will be able to walk under,<br />
around and through sections of the<br />
painted aluminium and granite artwork.<br />
Lord Mayor Bob Dwyer said the phenomenal<br />
pieces would put <strong>Parra</strong>matta on the<br />
map in a new way.<br />
“These striking pieces tell the story of<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta, from our Indigenous foundations<br />
to our sporting culture and will<br />
become iconic landmarks of this great<br />
city,” he said.<br />
“<strong>Parra</strong>matta has been a gathering place<br />
for thousands of years, and soon these<br />
phenomenal artworks by Australian<br />
artists will become new meeting spots in<br />
the heart of the CBD.”<br />
The works were selected from more than<br />
110 submissions, from all over the world,<br />
by a panel comprising representatives<br />
from the arts, design, and local government<br />
sectors.<br />
Incredible new artworks will soon take pride of place in <strong>Parra</strong>matta Square.<br />
Councillors Steven Issa and Dr Patricia<br />
Prociv, who were on the selection panel,<br />
thanked all those who made submissions<br />
and congratulated the winning artists on<br />
their proposals.<br />
“There is no doubt these works will<br />
provide a ‘wow’ factor to <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
Square and become a local attraction,” Cr<br />
Issa said.<br />
“Both of these artworks will give a voice<br />
to our local communities and create a<br />
sense of pride in place,” Cr Prociv added.<br />
The works are set to be installed by<br />
2022, upon completion of the <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
Square public domain.<br />
