Fox Lane urban renewal project

Local creatives - Jayanto Tan, Selina Springett and Alessandro Berini

Jayanto Tan, Selina Springett and Alessandro Berini are the three local artists collaborating on a permanent public artwork 'There Will Always Be a Light on for You' as part of the Fox Lane urban renewal project. They bring together diverse language groups that span the globe and work in a wide range of mediums and forms, from visual to ceramics, sound and multimedia, food and plant works to large scale installations and performance. Through their collaboration they speak to themes of community and hope for the future promoting togetherness, culture diversity and the vibrancy of multiculturalism.

Current work and inspiration

There Will Always Be a Light on for You stands for harmony and is a positive emblem for the community, a way of nurturing the community and its varied and rich multi-cultural society. The artwork includes the installation of large, hand-worked copper lanterns on a chain like cable.

"Enduring in its form yet evolving through the living finish of the copper, it is a testament weathering both the good times and the bad, and a monument to unity through diversity, making Fox Lane a place of welcome, with the message that 'here' is home" (Tan, Springett & Berini 2021).

There Will Always Be a Light on for You will be completed in April at Fox Lane, Ashfield, check Council's what's on page for public programming surrounding the artists work.
