Auora Place stone sculpture


Outside the Piano building on Hunter street are these two stones, nice. 'Kan Yasuda - "Touchstones" Yasuda's work, titled "Touchstones" is a splendid example of the marriage of art and architecture. Artists are rarely brought in at the beginning of a project and rarely work directly with architects. But not so at Aurora Place. The developers encouraged the connection between architect and artist right from the commencement of the project.' from auroraplace.com.au
