Interloop by artist Chris Fox, 2017 – hovers above the York Street escalators of Sydney’s heritage-listed Wynyard railway station. The sculptural installation reuses the 1930s OTIS escalator treads in a kilometre of welding.

‘Interloop’ hangs from Wynyard Station’s ceiling, hovering above the escalators that travel underground. The vast twisting accordion-shaped sculpture is more than fifty metres in length and weaves in 244 wooden treads and four combs from the original escalators.

Whilst paying homage to the past, it also, simultaneously, signifies the future. Studio Chris Fox was tasked with creating a unique heritage interpretation artwork that celebrated the stories and journeys of the people that had used these escalators for over 80 years.
