Corm

This sculpture was presented by BHP Pty Ltd to Newcastle City Council to commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the opening of City Hall in December 1979. The 1.5m tall bronze sculpture was inspired in both title and form by the fleshy stem found in plants. The artist Marilyn McGrath has described the work as an organic sculpture designed to provide a link between the constructed environment and nature.
