Aqualung, 2005
Artist: John Mead
Location: Docklands, VIC (Bovis Lend Lease)
Bovis Lend Lease commissioned the creation of large sculpture to fill the concourse level of their new development in Docklands in Melbourne. John Mead's maquette for his work 'Aqualung' was scanned by AG Public Art to produce a 3D model for full size production.
The brief required a one piece artwork with a smooth surface and black finish as there were few options a Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) process was chosen to create the 9 tonne, 30 metre artwork which was transported by road from Adelaide.
