Carpet of Jacaranda Flowers on an Industrial Island

"I love how one can suddenly step away from the harsh industrial spaces at Cockatoo Island and find themselves in lush gardens. Again, this sort of contrast is something a designer now would never imagine doing. I drew this piece in the Historic Residence Precinct on the upper island." – Nick Hollo, former Head of Design & Planning and Deputy Executive Director with the Harbour Trust (July 2022).

The Harbour Trust thanks Nick Hollo for allowing us to showcase this artwork on Google Arts & Culture. We also thank specialist fine art photographer, Greg Weight, for producing this high-quality digital reproduction of Mr Hollo's artwork.
