Former Dubbo artist Adam King has installed a new metal sculpture for ‘Hidden’, an annual outdoor sculpture exhibition that takes place amongst the pathways and gardens in one of the oldest sections of Rookwood Cemetery.
The exhibition is a unique opportunity for artists to engage with the cemetery’s contemporary relevance, and invites the public into these layered narratives while exploring the diverse cultural heritage of Australia's largest and most historic cemetery.
“My latest piece of art consists of a spirit, it has the traditional crown on its head would you find in a lot of Aboriginal artwork in caves,” Mr King said.
“It has the males up the top the females are down the bottom and it's telling a story of the males meeting the females it has a love heart in the middle representing the loss of a loved one.”
