Wilston Village creative placemaking outcomes
Elysha Rei's Journey Ever Onward (2020) explores patterns based on symmetry and harmony found in both nature and the architectural details from the local area. This series of work includes creative balustrade designs, ‘tessellated’ ground plane elements for exploration and projected motif patterns for evening enhancement. The combination of historical style and native flora creates artwork that is uniquely Wilston Village. These artwork projections are an outcome of the Wilston Village Precinct Grant Project.
The three colourful projected motif artworks, created by artist Elysha Rei, feature on the footpath along 87-95 Kedron Brook Road in Wilston Village. The projections expand on the local flora motif patterns enhancing the night time experience and identity of the Wilston Village neighbourhood centre. The colour palette takes cues from Federation inspired architectural features, with blue, green, maroon and gold features.
