Transporting Arts Program

Clarendon Street, South Melbourne (Stop 125)

‘Chromatic Oscillation: In Return’


Chromatic Oscillation: In Return reflects the constant movement of trams and commuters. A series of geometric shapes and changing colours extends across the tram stop, drawing on colours from the surrounding landscape to connect the artwork with its environment. Bands of colour create subtle visual effects that change as people move past the artwork, appearing to come together, move apart and ripple in the direction of travel. The artwork captures the rhythm and energy of people and transport, reinforcing the tram stop's role as a place of connection, movement and transition.
