The St George’s Cathed­ral Sculp­ture Pro­ject has launched! This excit­ing art com­mis­sion invites artists from around Aus­tralia and around the world to sub­mit con­cepts for a sculp­ture, which once com­mis­sioned will be posi­tioned in front of the newly restored St George’s Cathed­ral, on St George’s Ter­race in the centre of Perth’s CBD.

Clever Star­fish built the web site for the pro­ject, and we’re excited to be involved with some­thing that will have such a last­ing impact on the land­scape of our city.

For this pro­ject, Clever Star­fish designer Levi Buzolic took a range of pho­to­graphs around the Cathed­ral, includ­ing some fant­astic pan­or­a­mas of the grounds. These were used in the masthead Flash anim­a­tion, along with video mes­sages from the Dean, Dr John Shep­herd (on the home page), and the Lord Mayor Perth, Lisa Scaf­fidi (on the About Perth page). The end res­ult is very striking!

Once the ini­tial con­cepts have been received, the sub­mit­ted images will be dis­played on the site and will be open to a pub­lic vote. You can sign up to the Sculp­ture Pro­ject News­let­ter (on the right hand side of each page on the site, towards the bot­tom) to be noti­fied when vot­ing opens.
