In this Place - A public artwork for Lenah Valley


Work continues on In this Place – the public art project by artist Alex Miles - that is part of the Lenah Valley Retail Precinct Upgrade. Two murals are now complete and the artist is working with the City’s Public Art Coordinator and local building owners to resolve the detail and timing for completion of three further small mural works within the precinct.

A selection of excerpts from the stories and memories that have been collected as part of the postcard campaign will be used within a series of new seats and bus stops. It is also hoped that a sign will mark the start of the precinct at its eastern end, which will be illuminated, highlighting the phrase “In this Place”

    I have been living in Greenway Avenue for over 10 years now. The original part of our house was built in 1916 so has turned 100. Over those years everyone who has lived in the house has added a bit to it. I particularly thank the people before me who moved the toilet inside from its outhouse building (in the 1990s I believe!). People may know our place because we have a sheep in the front garden, quietly sitting their all day (she is two dimensional) but she reflects a past. Our house was there when most of that part...
