September 19, 2024

Janet Laurence has won a major commission for the foyer of Sydney’s Poly Centre. Janet has beaten a field of international contenders as the only Australian artist in the competition to design a piece of public art for the new building. Her successful concept of a mid-air sculpture will be created and installed in the four-storey glass atrium at 210 George Street with the help of global creative studio UAP Company. The sculpture will be a floating cultivation of greenery, with a series of layered images drawn from the lush greens of the wilderness, on suspended cylindrical semi-transparent panels.
