Client: City of Perth
Structural Engineers: Buckland Engineers
Size: 5m high - length various
Location: Traffic island, corner of Mount Street and St George's Terrace, Perth, Western Australia
Date: 1996
Brief Concept
Description:		 The seven dark charcoal-grey silhouettes/shadows of kangaroos were intended to add humour, social commentary and an historical perspective to this street. The original inspiration was the association of wealth with the buildings and the business activities of St George's Terrace, starting with the recognisable and familiar kangaroo image on the Australian penny and dollar coins. The brief cases were added to emphasize contemporary "business" life in the Terrace. The direction of the kangaroos, heading towards Kings Park, is again a site specific reference and reinforced in the title - Going Home.

Title: EARTH TO EARTH
Exhibition: Floriade Festival. Gardens opposite Parliament House, Canberra, Australian Capitol Territory, Australia

Materials: Clay, steel and granite
Size: Installation - 1000 cm x 1000 cm x 150 cm (h)
Date: September 1992
Brief Concept
Description:		 The theme for Floriade in 1992 was cultivation. This installation reflected my concern for inappropriate cultivation, leading to arid, unusable land. The clay shovels were a temporary work that broke down and disintegrated, eventually becoming soil.
