MOVIE INCORPORATES SOUND - USE HEADPHONES OR FULL VOLUME FOR BEST EFFECT
I was invited to participate in this year's Sculpture by the Sea (www.sculpturebythesea.com), Cottesloe Beach, coastal exhibition - March 5 to 24, 2009, Perth Australia.
"hollow promise - cottesloe" was the site specific installation that transpired.
artists statement:
Born of trade, they now lie easily and exposed as though ancient relics of a bygone faith, empty, looted, burnt - in a state of stable decay.
When inside one is blinkered from the surrounds and the gaze drawn to sea - the source of their story.

You did it again. And HOW did you arrange for that container ship to have a supporting role? Love the people as "sandcrabs", skittering, drawn to the shelter of that newfound cave. Love the abstract patterns up in the container, it's iron ribs exposed like a skeleton. In giving shelter and having ribs gets humanized, the people become animalized - creatures seeking shelter. All of your work is deeply moving. This one: poignant, & not without humour. You're a brilliant maker. Genius.

I wish I had experienced it in person!!!
Its like you've created a stage or a platform - in fact a lot of your work seems to be just that - and that you've let things happen, to them, in them, on them around them without prejudice really. I love it. Thank you.
