IVU (Frozen Tsunami)
The sculpture was positioned on the glass floor, floating above the model of the City of Sydney.
The projected videos Dr Anderson created while in the High Arctic.

Ice Caravans, a large scale installation exploring the intellectual concerns of shinyshinyworld was  developed as a part of her research as Visiting Scholar in Architecture at the University of Technology, Sydney.
The grand installation of Ice Caravans is still a drawing board project. However the technologies developed with students and staff in architecture supported the creation of the first of the ice structure based sculptures :  IVU (Frozen Tsunami) sculpture commissioned by the City of Sydney for the Customs House exhibition ATTLA (Snow that makes beautiful pictures as it falls).

The IVU work has traveled in a flat pac form and been re-versioned for different spaces. Plus the basic drive of creating light reflective works that echoes the beauty, rythnm  and endangered nature of icebergs has created several different versions.

The Cenotaph sits in Macquarie Mall in Liverpool. It was opened in 1994 by the Governor of NSW in a large scale dedication ceremony involving miliatray units and ceremony. The work is constructed of a sereis of columns including the concrete Sentry columns, which have casts images of objects to recognise the Liverpool areas involment in peace keeping and conflict around the world. There are 2 rose trellis columns in rememberence. As well as a fallen granite column with texts from archival documents and the large centre column of crosses and one Star of David. The work is laid out in a grass garden based on the cluster of bayonets and surrounded by sandstone blocks engraved with local statements in Darawal. The shadow of the broken column and the base of the fallen column reunite at the rememberance hour through the shadow of the column falling across the base. The body is reunited for that moment and then the sun moves on.

Early works involving light projection include Memories on a Grand Scale. This was a large scale slide projection and sound work on the façade of the Australian Museum. St Mary’s Cathedral played a carillon of bells shortly before the performance as a ‘caller’ while  composer Jon Drummond had developed a sound work that was simulcast on local radio and speakers across the park. This was the final of a series of installation  as the first artist-in-residence at the Australian Museum.Later projection works include Palace of Memories—The Kiss. This work was a part of the Biennale of Sydney and was projected from The University of Technology, Sydney onto the ABC building in Ultimo. The Arcane Territory was a projection based on the histories of the buildings and people around Observatory Hill S.H. Ervin Gallery, the Historic Houses Trust, Fort Street School and the Observatory

Singing Up Stones was a sound and image projection and performance on the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and light patterns using ships and buildings in Circular Quay. The sound work by Jon Drummond was simulcast. The works contrasted the stories of the harbour bridge using cross-dressing, and the mainstream spectatorship of the Opera House.

Writing the City is an ongoing series of performance works investigating the stories of Cities. These include works such as a series of billboards through out the CBD railway stations based on texts of invited well known writers stories about Sydney. Including Beth Yhap; Neal Drinnan; James Bradley; Ruby Langford Ginibi; Mackenzie Wark and I wrote a short text on Arthur Stace and Eternity. Further parts of the series included a neon and billboard installation on the corner of Park St and George Street; closing off Macquarie street for a street drawing project linking Hyde Park to Customs House Square and a large scale performance of writing and drawing on the façade of the Brisbane Powerhouse. There were talks, performances, a matchbook series, sky writing and slides in all the cinemas on George Street for the 10 days of the project each year, 1997 til 1999.

Paris Angels is a show Dr Anderson created while in Paris at the Cite Internationale des Arts as a residence offered by the Ministry of Cultural in France. The work explores the surfaces of surfaces of specific statues in Paris. The technique of manipulated imagery printed on to canvas and reworked with gold, paint and glitter.
The Cherub work, that this is one of, plays with the matrix position from which Haussman designed Paris. This is the point at which the streets join, and from which one can travel in direct lines from what was the link between the main palaces.
