ARTWORK Memory Forest
ARTIST Susan Lincoln

Created by artist Susan Lincoln for an urban transport interchange, Memory Forest represents a strand of ghost gums trees that are characteristic of Australian bushland. The installation's composition introduces calming elements of the natural environment into this bustling location. UAP's head patternmaker, Jerko Starcevic, worked in close consultation with Lincoln to create full scale patterns of the work based off the artist's models. The pieces were then cast in aluminium and finished and polished prior to application of the paintwork. They were painted with highly durable polyurethane to achieve the delicacy and colour of the artist's ceramic-finish intent with an additional anti-graffiti clear coat applied to ensure maximum protection of the works in the public realm.
