Interwoven
2023
Artist(s): Lawrence Liang & Ali Megahed
Interwoven is a series of LED neon tubes tangled in a mid-air symphony
of art and symbolism configured into straight lines and sweeping forms.
Each neon trail represents and is mapped after a real-world corridor
of connectivity within the Georges River Local Government Area;
waterways, arterial roads, railways and bus routes. We want to create an
installation that transforms the transport hub from a place of waiting to a
place of unlimited destinations and opportunities synchronized with the
rhythm of the urban environment.
The artwork’s lighting programming is defined by 3 distinct stages – past,
present, and future. The past is characterized by gentle washes of waves
alluding to the Georges River. The present is determined by the sparkling
infinity of choices and distinct pathways we can choose to live out our
lives, and the future is an unbound cacophony of colour and wonder.
