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 sculpture is made of discarded plastic rope and rubbish that washes into shore. Most of this rubbish I have collected in Robe SA, a small fishing village. As cray season is a main source of employment for recreation and commercial industry in Robe "Checking the Pots" is a very important daily event. The early morning hum of boats leaving the channel is a reminder that the day has started and lunch or dinner could make its way back as a traditional meal consumed when holidaying in Robe.
Exhibited at Argyle Gallery - Julia Street Creative Space, 2024
Held on the lands of the Gunditjmara people, we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
