Abdul Abdullah’s large-scale artwork, Come Together, has been installed on the eastern façade of Arden Station and connects the past of Melbourne’s west to its future.
Abdullah’s artwork recreates J.S. Calder’s painting View from Royal Park across West Melbourne Swamp (1860) on a mosaic that extends across the entire façade addressing Laurens Street. Two large-scale aluminium hands reach across the mosaic background in a welcoming gesture. This gesture represents the coming together of people connected to the Arden area – from the First Peoples of the Kulin Nation prior to colonial settlement, subsequent waves of migration, and to the future when Arden will be transformed into a new precinct. Come Together celebrates the communities of Arden and the station’s civic role in this emerging precinct.
Celebrated Victorian First Nations artist, Maree Clarke, has created Tracks – a line-wide artwork that spans all 5 stations. Clarke’s artwork showcases native fauna found across the traditional lands and waters of the 5 Kulin Nation clans – Wadawurrung, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung, and Bunurong / Boonwurrung. Maree’s artwork comprises large scale floor mosaics created from coloured granite. The granite was cut using a waterjet, with each piece finished and assembled by hand. There are a total of 35 footprints featured across the 5 station platforms.
The footprints at each station have been chosen by the artist from native animals (living and extinct) found in the different natural habitats across Kulin Nation Country, which includes Greater Melbourne and parts of south-central Victoria.
Emerging Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung artist Ky-ya Nicholson Ward has developed intricate designs etched into the terraces at the Arden Station entrance on Laurens Street. The designs draw inspiration from the historic wetlands once found in the area. The Blue Lake or West Melbourne Swamp, as it was also referred to, was an important meeting place and food source for local Traditional Owners.
The rich industrial history of North Melbourne has inspired the architecture and design of Arden Station, with its arched brick entrance using locally manufactured bricks and use of bluestone, timber, steel and glass, setting the tone for urban renewal in the precinct. Three 16m-long skylights provide natural light for the granite-paved concourse and platforms below.
