Fibonacci Park Project - 2023-24

Concrete stencilling and mosaic collaboration with Guy Crosley - Uralla, NSW

Uralla’s Fibonacci Park Project came about from Kent Mayo recognising that Uralla’s postcode is the only postcode in Australia to have 4 consecutive numbers from the Fibonacci sequence, 2, 3, 5, 8.

I have been working in collaboration with park concept designer and mosaic artist Guy Crosley from the Mid North Coast to bring the park’s creative elements to life. We started in October 2023, laid the 100m concrete path, and completed it in February 2024.

The next phase was to start the mosaic work on the four scaled standing pillars, highlighting sequences 2, 3, 5, and 8. The pillars feature muralised pictorial mosaic scenes on one side and geometric representations of Fibonacci themes on the other. The edges and tops of the pillars feature tile images designed by Christine Ball, a long-term friend and Uralla potter. The tiles depict a portrait image of the twelfth-century Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci and Uralla’s postcode numbers in eight different language scripts.
