Isadora Vaughan: Terra Pneumatics

Commissioned by Moreland City Council
From 1 March 2022

Leading contemporary artist Isadora Vaughan has won the competitive EOI process to create a landmark sculpture for the newly constructed Glenroy Community Hub. Vaughan, who is one of Australia’s most successful young sculptors, will be creating a series of layered rammed earth sculptures that show how a cross section of earth can be a poetic and dynamic way to comprehend time and place.

Located in one of Moreland’s most innovative new developments that comprises a library, childcare and maternal child health nurse clinic, Glenroy Community Hub will fundamentally change the expectations and capacity of the Glenroy community through providing integrated social, educational, health and wellbeing programs, services and outcomes. Vaughan’s artwork will build on this philosophy establishing opportunities for visitors to dwell and connect, whist reflecting on how the changing terrain beneath our feet reflects the changing communities that belong here. Vaughan’s often process-based sculptural forms reconsider the basic properties of materials and their capacity to suggest meaning beyond themselves—poetic, political, organic or otherwise.
