Natalie Rosin’s, Sydney Modern, is part of her latest series, Built Portraiture. The series is an exploration and reinterpretation of forms, structures, and architectural patterns observed across various buildings within Sydney, the city Natalie calls home. Each piece focuses on a specific built structure located in Sydney and aims to sculpturally introduce their identity through form, pattern, silhouette, shadow, and movement.

Natalie says of this work: “This sculpture was inspired by the grand spiral staircase located at Sydney Modern, the New South Wales Art Gallery’s recent extension. Designed by Japanese architects SANAA, this sculptural staircase was made off-site and crane-lifted to connect visitors to the former World War II oil tank gallery below ground.”
