#Velvet Water
WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA
Maria
Fernanda Cardoso has captivated the public with her site-responsive artwork for
the Wollongong Central shopping centre. Thousands of nylon rods in seven
different lengths and shades of grey were produced by UAP and installed in the
centre. Cardoso’s immersive work references Wollongong’s coastal location with
each rod creating a
water-like surface.
Incorporating
thousands of nylon rods which spout from the internal wall, Velvet Water
presents an immersive experience of the fluidity and force of water in a
sculptural landscape.
