Amanda was engaged by Landcom to curate public artworks for Landcom's Northwest Places, an enormous area surrounding the new Sydney Metro Northwest stations spanning over twenty five kilometers.

Bradley “Beastman” Eastman’s Hills Intervention is part of the second iteration of the Sydney Metro Northwest Places public art program. It reflects the patterns, colour and design of the local urban environment - the construction, building materials and architecture of an area witnessing rapid population growth. This flow of human activity is juxtaposed with the subtle colourings of the local natural environment.

For Amanda’s second iteration of the public art program, seven artists were engaged to create large scale art commissions, each between one hundred and three hundred meters long surrounding the Metro stations designed by Hassell. Maddison Gibbs, Nadia Hernandez, Bradley Eastman aka Beastman, Tina Barahanos, Alexandra Byrne, Leanne Watson and Ian Mutch were selected from a long list of international and Australian artists. Their art responds to a brief asking them to create memorable, distinct, powerful, contemporary and bold artworks that activate and announce Northwest Places.
