I collected tuffs of kangaroo fur from where it had been wrapped around and cushioning the barbed fences, small traces of the roos daily dusk migration across the paddocks. Why did the kangaroo cross the road? The fur was then spun, felted and wrapped around discarded pieces of fencing wire, twisted into forms based on the kangaroos motions climbing through the fences.
