‘Pot Plant’
Materials Aluminium, steel, resin, auto paint
Dimensions 253 x 148 x 36 cm

‘Walking Looking Talking Noppan Nukkan Yunnan’
Statement This is what people do on Granite Island. And these rocks, under an old tree, provide a moment’s refuge to contemplate ‘then’ and ‘now’. An ancient practice, painting on rocks, about what’s important. The paint will fade and disappear in time, making space for something new, just as with all living things.

‘Bystander’
Materials Wood
Statement In a reflection of the solid masses that make up Granite Island, ‘Bystander’ invites you to sit still and take in the timeless and immovable surrounds, as if you were a rock, a witness to all that passes.

‘Sunlight (No3)’
Materials Stone, reinforcing bar
Dimensions 302-366 x 140-162 x 88-135 cm
Statement On the stone shaped by natural forces, the steel bars recovered from the ruins of urban renewal are transformed into a kind of energy that merges with the stone, which grows fragile and firmly upwards in the natural space, whilst simultaneously implying a kind of loneliness which is deeply rooted downwards. Upon being installed on the island, the manifested energy has integrated into the landscape and seems to be silently describing a certain kind of ‘existence’ that we are experiencing.

‘Conversations’
Materials existing seats, persian carpet
Dimensions variable
Statement Installed on existing public seats Persian carpets were woven into the seats. Traditionally these carpets are used for sitting on in domestic settings while the public seats provide a different place to sit and relax in nature. The union of these elements East / West, public / private, soft / hard, offer opportunity for contemplation and appreciation of the richness of our Australian society and hopefully a visual intrigue.
