Project Summary

“The Parramatta Tapestry is a commissioned artwork produced by Chris Kenyon, installed in the 6 Parramatta Square atrium. The artwork depicts a luminous, dream-like landscape. The Parramatta Tapestry contains the stretch of the river displaying a particular section of riverbank which was the landing spot early explorers settled upon in Parramatta. The tapestry speaks to the natural beauty and abundance of the original landscape known to the Burramattagal people.”
