• Notes:
  ‘In 1972 she was appointed the inaugural H.C. Coombs Creative Arts Fellow at Australian National University. During the Fellowship she completed a commission for ANU’s School of Music (Extended Column, 1972 – 75) and developed a proposal for a major environmental sculpture: Piccola Cità. This ‘small city’ was a reworked version of an earlier 1962 work of the same title, but the individual elements were slightly altered in form and spaced further apart to create a walk-through environment for the university’s forecourt. Prohibitive costs meant the work was never realised, but it did generate two editions of maquettes: one in silver (1976) and another, slightly larger, in bronze (1978).’1 1.
