Commuters travelling through the new Parkville underground railway station will be whisked away into the natural world if Patricia Piccinini has her way. As one of five artists creating works for Melbourne’s new stations as part of a series commissioned by Metro Tunnel, Piccinini is working on a massive piece that reflects the colours of spring.
“I hope this work will make people feel kind of fortified. Even though you’re moving, even though you’re on your way, you can relax and meditate on this colourful work and the vibrations that come off it,” she says of the piece to be made of hundreds of tiles, which will sit on the concourse below Grattan Street. “It’s a work about nature – the colours are spring colours, these beautiful verdant greens, the new shoots of leaves, the ripening colours of fruit on a tree.
