The 3-storey rotunda in which the artwork is sited, allows us to create a portal from the past connecting into the future. Ecclesiastical in character the 13m high cylindrical space has moments of magic as afternoon sun filters through arched windows, crepuscular rays of sunlight that remind us of a greater power. It is a space that elicits awe and opens an aperture to allow the sublime through.
NEBULA is a work that reaches out to connect to that greater power, connecting the nostalgic patina of the past, a compelling beauty of decay that’s cast against a glistening shock of the new. It is in this dichotomy of old and new we seek to exploit.

Echoes of the past cast long shadows into the future whereupon light reverberates light back in on itself.
A building whose memory is engrained in the very walls, a deep patina of stories of which we know not. A narrative that leaves us wondering. An unanswered melancholy whose glimpse of the future is presented as a continuum of the new and as yet untold stories, this is a work about potential. About preservation of the past yet celebration of the future.
