Ferrier Baudet architects worked with Lincoln Austin on this artwork at the entry of St Leo’s College. The artwork is entitled “Correlate”.
Correlate suggests something that shares mutual or complimentary properties.
The wall is a series of triangles, some in clear glass and some in mirrored glass, creating a view to the university and reflection of the college, as in the artist’s words, “In any balanced relationship, a degree of reflection is required. From the outside the mirrors reflect the university grounds while the clear glass will allow a view into the college creating a simultaneous view of both institutions”.
St Leo’s were successful in securing an Arts Queensland grant for this project. The awning was original but it was both restored and extended to provide vehicular cover.
