This year TRAILS finalists included artists from across Australia. The works reflected a range of media, techniques and experience, providing viewers with a broad spectrum from which to cast their People's Choice vote.
This work is made from collected metal waste that is easily recognisable to the viewer. The chainsaw chain is symbolic to Sundays chopping up fire wood and the physical trip of chopping and carting for warmth and winter survival. The platter was created with the reward of the Sunday family dinner that came after the regular weekly job and the feast shared on a platter.
Exhibited at Argyle Gallery - Julia Street Creative Space, 2024
