Extensive historical and botanical research and consultation with Friends of Kings Park, the general public and KPBG staff resulted in three individual artworks to three locations within the redeveloped Women’s Memorial lake and garden area. Botanical themes inspired the steel works in the lake. The life story of the frog is described in larger than life bronzes, while womens' historical relationship with needlecraft is explored through contemporary images of the parks native flora, sandblast etched into granite laid in the pathways.
