Sculpture in the Gardens at Hunter Region Botanic Gardens.
This was my favourite of all the sculptures - I walked around it for quite a while and the way it changed depending on where you were standing was beautiful. They melded into the bush environment and often almost disappeared.
Peter Tilley “Each in the Other”
The mirror-polished surface of an object can transform that object into an apparently immaterial two-dimensional substance and merge that object into its surroundings, rendering the form indistinct, and reducing the boundary of certainty. The reflection of images, surroundings and viewers within the mirrored surface will contract, expand or even disappear according to the viewer’s position, allowing for a meaning that a reflection is not a reality, or possibly it might also mean that everything is subjective.
This one looks quite spooky.

@onewing it was quite surreal and ghostly but truly amazing to walk around and see how they changed in the environment

Are they shiny stainless steel reflecting what is around them, or are they painted to fit in with the environment? Interesting.

A beautiful collage of these great sculptures, I would not like to walk there in the dark though ;-)

@jeneurell they are mirrored surfaces made from polished and painted chrome plated steel and they do mirror/reflect the bush around them.
@ludwigsdiana the dark with a torch would be wonderful - full of wildlife - spider webs might be annoying though hahaha
