Amanda was the City of Sydney Assistant Curator of Public Art for the Sydney Sculpture Walk program and other new artworks being commissioned as major City of Sydney initiatives in the lead up to the 2000 Olympic Games and 2001 Centenary of Federation.

Janet Laurence and Jisuk Han's Veil of Trees is a one hundred meter long installation of cultural plantings (red gums and native grasses), glass, cortex steel, LED lighting, text, traces of minerals, ash and seeds of indigenous species that would have once inhabited the site and resin. The artwork’s planting rejuvenates the site to what once grew here, and the poetic fragments of text, seeds and ash recall the botanic history of the area. One of Australia’s foremost artists, Janet Laurence offered this as one of the first examples of a living public artwork in Sydney.

The Sydney Sculpture Walk consists of ten permanent public artworks by international and Australian artists throughout Sydney's CBD, East Circular Quay, the Royal Botanic Gardens and The Domain. Amanda worked closely with esteemed Curator, Sally Couacaud and each of the artists to develop, project manage and realise the public art program that address historical and cultural aspects of the many high profile and beautiful sites throughout the CBD in which they are housed.
