An artwork inspired by the act of digging, abstractly representing detritus and archaeological artefacts uncovered during the Metro Tunnel Construction, was installed at the Arden Station precinct on Laurens Street.

Melbourne artist Spencer Harrison’s abstract work depicted entities carving through the earth while simultaneously creating the future of Melbourne.
