As a part of a NSW State Government COVID-19 recovery support grant Council commissioned Inner West artist Nadia Hernandez, to design two banners to explore messages of resilience and gratitude for the Burwood Community. These designs will also be rolled out onto vinyl banners throughout Burwood Parks and on Council's social media platforms.
Artist Statement:
Together We're Strong: features hands, foliage, seeds, and sunshine. A transition into spring, warmer weather, and the hope that will come from the end of lockdown, high vaccination rates, and summer.
Thank You Burwood: features homes, foliage, and eyes. An ode to people's effort to stay at home during the past three months, there's liveliness in the environment and overall optimism in the artwork, with eyes peeking out of houses and merging with nature.
