A Truganina company is helping to light up Federation Square this winter.
Extrusions Australia helped UK-based architect Asif Khan develop his Radiant Lines art installation, which is on display at Federation Square for its annual Light in Winter Festival.
Managing director Rod Fiddes says the company manufactured the aluminium used in the installation from dyes it made in-house.
He says about 5200 kilograms of aluminum was used in the piece.
Extrusions Australia took about two weeks to manufacture the metal before delivering it to the companies responsible for bending and welding the pieces together.
The circular sculpture is made up of 40 rings that appear to be suspended in space.
At dusk, hundreds of LED lights illuminate the piece.
Fiddes says it’s the first time the company has been involved in creating such an installation.
