Accomplished Australian artist Emma Coulter was commissioned to create the signature public artwork for Yarrila Place. Emma has designed a vibrant steel and glass artwork that incorporates painting, sculpture, and engineering. The result is a structure that leaps up the curves of the wall and overlooks the atrium, filling it with colour and light.
Yarrila means to illuminate, brighten, light up or illustrate. The inspiration for Emma Coulter's commissioned work comes from the idea of light refracting on the surface of the water and dispersing into colour.
Emma's work is site-specific, so it was important for the artist and the final artwork to consider the context of the site, the place, and the history. Along with the Gumbaynggirr name, Coulter also drew from the historical significance of the South Solitary lighthouse built on the Coffs Coast in 1878 as well as the architecture of Yarrila Place itself.
