ARTWORK Drift
ARTIST Sebastian di Mauro

Artist Sebastian Di Mauro created Drift, a remarkable signature artwork, for a key State Government building in Brisbane's central business district. Constructed in cast aluminium, the organic shapes engage in a unique dialogue with the surrounding architecture. They describe the space and invite interaction by tenants and visitors alike. Di Mauro's sculptures, which suggest seed pods or chrysalis forms, introduce the natural environment into an urban setting subtly evoking ideas of transformation and growth, change and renewal. The artist describes this work as 'telling the story of regeneration of the site and of human history. It speaks of the dynamics of life itself.'
