You may not be able to visit your favourite public artwork – so we’re bringing it to you! Today visiting you on your device is ‘Diver’ by Simon Perry and Drew Cole. Made of bluestone, this light-hearted work features the behind of a duck, creating the illusion that the duck is dipping its head below the surface of the paved walkway. This sculpture acts as a marker for the entrance of the parkland of Newport Lakes and the material references the site’s origin - a bluestone quarry.
Simon Perry has quite a few, very recognisable works across Melbourne including the coin purse in the Bourke Street Mall and the large green sculptural work outside Marvel Stadium – ‘Threaded Field’.

A HUGE congratulations to Aisha Hara for winning the People's Choice Award of the Wyndham Art Prize!!
Proudly sponsored by Arts Assist
Reposted from @wyndham_city
Wyndham City together with Arts Assist are delighted to announce Aisha Hara as the winner of the “Wyndham Art Prize People’s Choice Award’!
Ms Hara’s, winning entry titled ‘Set Out to Package the World’ is an oil on canvas and was overwhelmingly chosen, with 441 votes, over half of the votes out of the 859 casted votes.
Aisha is currently studying Fine Arts at RMIT and her work spans multiple forms from painting, light installation and collage, and seeks to create a poetic voice within each of her works through exploring the narrative of thoughts through figurative and abstract forms alluding to identity and place.
Arts Assist has generously supported the People’s Choice Award as part of the 2021 Wyndham Art Prize.
