Artist Danie Mellor, Title Entelekheia 2016. This commissioned artwork by Danie Mellor, an Australian artist of Indigenous heritage, are photographic images of plant species found around the Darling Harbour Precinct, which have been photo-etched into concrete and seen on the extensive facade of ICC Sydney. The images were then photo-etched into the concrete and you can see as the sun rakes across the walls these fugitive images of the original canopy, once familiar to Indigenous people. They appear and disappear as the light changes.
