“TREE” has already passed the pub test with Mirvac’s workers at the St Leonards site, and promises to be a very successful and much loved artwork. Its soft organic forms, inspired by nature hark back to Brancusi, and American kinetic artist George Rickey and Alexander Calder- who both influenced New Zealand artist Phil Price. The 7 meter high kinetic work – a gracious carbon fibre and steel structure which is now the centre piece of the new public space joining two residential towers.
