Mutualities - Public Sculptures

$ On Inquiry

This artwork marks a boundary of the former Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital. Patients and staff member's anticipated life paths were marked by unexpected diseases or accidents. Fractures, misalignment and disconnections irrevocably shaped their future lives. The path forward was a shaky one but aided through rehabilitation, resilience, relationships and scientific research. Staff raced to help stop fast-spreading diseases while the patients struggled against partial immobility. This work celebrates their lives and stories of a shared struggle against time and stillness.

My work explores place, memory, identity and custodianship through design and public art.

Penelope Forlano is a spatial designer and public artist with a special interest in the mnemonic and emotional experience of public and private artifacts. Her recent doctoral research examined emotionally enduring artifacts, and how to evoke custodianship in the user through a design anthropology approach. She has over 20 years of practice as an award-winning artist, furniture, and interior designer. Her work has been exhibited widely including at 100% Design (London), CraftACT, The John Curtin Gallery, FORM, and a solo show at the esteemed Salone Satellite - Milan International Furniture Fair in 2004. She received the prestigious Australian Design Award (2006), and in 2011 her ‘Terrain’ table was acquired for permanent collection by the Art Gallery of WA. She has completed multiple public artworks for private and government bodies.
