Grab a coffee or a full picnic from Monster Kitchen and Bar, Mocan & Green Grout, ILY or Rebel Rebel, and check out the artworks many people overlook when visiting NewActon.
Robin Blau’s Time Thief stands in the NewActon Pavilion Green Spine and depicts a crow ‘pinching’ the time. The crow descends on its nest above the old heritage clock with wings outstretched and talons extended as if he’s about to snatch the clock.
“Crows are both charmingly intelligent and sneaky,” explains Robin. “This sculpture’s association with the theft of time, with the attempt to ‘grab and hold onto time’ or to ‘seize the moment’ is part of many ancient mythologies.”
The Nishi Grand Stair was created by March Studios and is made from recycled boards and brass poles. The stairs regularly play host to wedding photos and have been the backdrop to many arts events in the precinct such as ‘Art, Not Apart’, movie festivals’ opening night ceremonies and wine markets.
The recycled boards and poles are reclaimed from a dismantled house and a demolished basketball court. No two pieces of wood are the same, which creates a unique range of cuts from the polished and unpolished to the painted and unpainted.
