A Millennial Sculpture
for
Sydney Waterfront.

Sydney Sculptor, Mark Fabbro, has carved a
work of art displaying exceptional dynamic and balance. The
sculpture is a 3 metre high symphony of curves and flow.
The Millennial Wave Memorial (MWM),
exhibits conceptual and design aspects which suit the contemporary
cultural, built and natural setting of Sydney in the following respects:
-
The design of the sculpture, based on the circle and
curve, is complementary to buildings and structures which comprise
of circular plan or display curved architectural and engineering
features. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Australia Square are such
structures.
-
The work represents the choppy back and forth
behaviour of boat wake and wind waves on the surface of the
harbour water.
-
The work, being of water/wave theme, constitutes a
work of art inspired by the experience of generally clean and warm
estuaries, maritime waters, and surf, such as are characteristic of
Sydney. These natural attributes constitute the 'playground' for
the contemporary culture of popular recreational pursuits.
-
The work conceptualise the change in status of the
foreshores of Sydney harbour and the coastline of Australia that has
occurred at the end of the 20 Century .
The robust characteristic and
timeless quality of the MWM will ensure that for many years from the
year 2000, its integrity will endure.

Large scale works of art can be
commissioned for private or exterior settings in any size.
