Ormonde Parade public art

In April 2023, the public artwork at Ormonde Parade called Interwoven, was installed in the transit corridor of the Hurstville Railway Station interchange.

Public art is a key initiative of Georges River Council, that elevates the visual profile of our places, provides insights into our cultural life and community values, and contributes to the vibrancy of the local area for the enjoyment of all residents and visitors.

Interwoven, is a permanent installation that utilises suspended LED lighting and patterned light projections to create a sensory experience and immersive journey along the Ormonde Parade transport hub.

The installation transforms the transport hub from a place of waiting to a place of unlimited destinations, synchronised with the rhythm of the urban environment.

The LED lighting is a symphony of art and symbolism, configured into straight lines and sweeping forms. Each trail of light represents a map after a corridor of connectivity within Georges River LGA; waterways, arterial roads, railways, traditional trails, and bus routes. The work pays homage to the past, present, and future of the Georges River area, drawing inspiration from the waterways, local flora and fauna and rich First Nations heritage.

The work of Sydney-based artist Lawrence Liang (Lawrence Liang Public Art) renowned for immersive audio visual and mixed media sculptures and installations

(Ali Megahed), won the competitive Expressions of Interest process in February 2022 to commission a public artwork for Ormonde Parade.

Working with Tilt Industrial Designs to develop, fabricate and install the artwork, Interwoven immerses visitors as they walk underneath it, allowing them to experience the ebb and flow rhythm of the artwork, its changing light sequence and patterns, as they move along the corridor.
