Another View, Site 1

Designer: Ray Thomas and Megan Evans
Year: 1994
Red granite and brass paving inlay

This is one of several public artworks commisioned for the Another View walking trail, only some of which remain. The trail was created to recognise the shared history of paritcular city sites. Located outside Parliamnet House, this paving inlay uses Caremony, a painting created during the 1980's  by Wurundjeri ngungareta (headman) William Barak, to reference the past of this site as a traditional ceremonial ground and a meeting place for the people of the Kulin nation
