Camden Public School
Titled Flourish In Harmony
2024, 175th Anniversary Commissioned CORTEN SCULPTURE
Flourish in Harmony is a beautifully uplifting artwork that demonstrates how animals, insects and plants grow and live together in unison. It portrays positive messages of bonds we can form by accepting each others differences. It guides us to always look forward and keep ones head high and finally it shows us how we benefit from creating and living in a positive environment.
Flourish In Harmony
Artist Sharon Romeo BFA
Here in this artwork we see a harmonious scene, where the diary cow becomes part of her environment. She is in the field enjoying all her surroundings. They have become part of her and she has invited them into her personal space which has in turn provided her with the most beautiful uplifting energy. Her head is raised, her horns a symbol of early Camden -
she calls to her herd to join her in this safe and peaceful place.
Inside her glorious body she shows us what she can see in the trees above - the waratah, wattle, birds and gum tree.
It's a sunny peaceful day... The cockatoo and rainbow lorikeet are relaxing in the branches of the gum tree, observing the playfulness of the kookaburra that curiously watches the dragon fly. Along with the gum leaves, the birds and waratah guide the viewers eye upwards and to the right of the composition - thus promoting to the viewer the positive action of always looking up and keeping your head high (not down), to always look forward (not back). The butterfly is a final touch to the artwork where we see the relationship between the large cow and the tiny butterfly. A symbol that difference does not matter and that accepting each other provides bonds that enhance our life and ultimately help us “Flourish in Harmony”.
