Movement Through Landscape

The Parramatta Station wall transforms infrastructure into artifact and reflects the everyday ebb and flow of life at Parramatta CBD’s civic centre. The 350-metre wall is a concrete relief and polychrome sculpture, creating the street address, image and identity for the new Railway Station and Transport Interchange.

A two-part narrative is made up of two form types threading together allusions to culture and nature, people and landscape, the river and the rail.

Ultimately, the sculpture wall is an urban, scaled painting in relief, combining light and colour in a constant interplay of form and pattern. Walking, waiting or driving by in a bus, the wall forms a continuous civic fabric defining the interchange landscape and giving it a memorable and legible identity.
