Council Papers

Exhibited @44_rozelle, April 2024 as part of unentitled with David & Ken Watson

2024 Finalist Northern Beaches Environmental Art & Design Prize, Manly Art Gallery & Museum, Sydney [Council Papers Fig. 1]

I took these photos of damaged municipal road surfaces in Rozelle after months of unusually heavy rain in 2022 (heavy construction vehicles also played a part in the road’s demise). I could see these shapes appearing everywhere. They reminded me of my childhood colouring-in books and the mantra ‘stay within the lines’. Colouring the images recently made me reflect more deeply on borders, ownership, progress and climate change.
