Artwork Statement by Kevin Vo:
River Friends symbolises our relationship with nature’s transformations. It comprises of three water fauna that inhabit the waterways of the Nepean River – a platypus, a frog, and a fish. The platypus is adaptable and unique, the fish is stoic, and the metamorphosis of the frog refers to the change in the surrounding landscape, all of which are reflective of their strength in Camden’s history of floods. They are sculptural shapes embodying whimsical play, combining nature with functional art.
River Friends invites us to sit, play and contemplate nature and the distinct ecosystems of Camden Town Farm and the surrounding Nepean River.
