Connection Sculpture

Victor Harbor’s commissioned acclaimed local artist Matt Turley to craft Connection, a captivating public art installation.

Turley, whose work has graced public spaces across South Australia—including the Brighton Jetty Sculptures and City of Holdfast Bay—brings his distinctive vision to this latest commission. Drawing inspiration from the intricate mechanics of steam locomotives, Connection symbolises individual elements uniting to create something greater—much like the history, people, and spirit of Victor Harbor itself.
