The transience of existence and fragility of life are
recurring themes throughout my practice. My site-sensitive process and use of
found materials infer poetic commentary about human struggles with nature and
that which is naturally uncontrollable in our lives. Meander invites visitors
to follow a river-like labyrinthine path between contours of phragmites.
Phragmites are a native wetland grass and grow in abundance here. Truckloads
have recently been harvested from the Wong Wetlands and relocated along the
banks of the Murray River in an attempt to stem the endemic erosion there.
