galara

Galara is a landmark sculpture developed by artist Nicole Monks in collaboration with Uncle Charles Madden, Luke Russell, Scott Luschwitz and Community members. The fishing harpoon is a replica of one made with community at a workshop held at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

The artwork comprises a 36m tall fabricated aluminium spear made up from 5 x 6m sections, topped with a 6m tall 3 pronged barb. The community workshop spear was photographed and scaled up to full size and completed with a faux finish painted by a specialist team. The spear is halo lit with concealed LED lighting to the shaft and uplighting spots for the prongs.
