Celestial Reduction

This war memorial has a centerpiece of polished granite depicting a sword, a wreath, and one simple word, REMEMBER. Around the granite disc are six large stones (in pairs) set into the footpath, one of each pair has an engraved word – loss, sacrifice, and silence. The three pairs of boulders signify the three wings of our armed services.

Created in granite and bronze the series of sculptural works skirt the path along Colley Reserve. The works were installed in 2004 by artist Deborah Sleeman and the plaque reads; 'Observations on the modification and containment of the natural environment, both through organic processes over millennia and the more rapid changes that come with human intervention'

The Still Water sculpture design represents a flowing fountain and the speckle aluminum finish provides the illusion of water as the sun's cycle shadows over the work. The elegant six-metre artwork sits in proportion to the surrounding trees and buildings and the design has been created to utilise the central space of the roundabout but not obstruct sightlines for motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists. The sculpture foundation has been covered in decorative gravel in specific patterns to highlight the Still Water intent and lighting throws a blue hue up the centre of the sculpture at night
