Some year ago I was approached to submit concepts for a public art installation in the regional University town of Armidale. Persistence was required as the process from concept to installation was somewhat fraught.
However, after many meetings, changes of locations and amidst a back drop of council amalgamations (& de-amalgamations) it has finally found a place in front of the minimalist shed styled annex of the $10.5 million upgrade to the Armidale Airport.
Armidale is half way between Sydney and Brisbane on the New England Tableland. It has a very distinctive landscape.
Under the Big Sky was finally installed in front of the new Armidale Airport annex late 2017.
