Utopia 1, Fishing Shack

Mixed media and found object assemblage.

This is my vision of Australia before its coastline was overrun with McMansions and private beach front developments. The work is inspired by the communal shacks that once dotted the Australian coastline. These structures were pieced together with salvaged materials, often carted hundreds of kilometres by car (and sometimes boat) to remote unpopulated fishing and surfing destinations. No one owns the structures and because they’re at the mercy of harsh coastal conditions, they’re usually in shambolic disrepair, maintained by volunteers who make dedicated annual pilgrimages to keep them standing. They are simple, egalitarian places that embrace community, recycling and the idea of making do. They become part of the landscape, hosting vibrant communities of explorers, drifters and eccentrics. They’re slowly disappearing, under pressure from councils, developers and environmentalists.

NYPD road barrier from 9/11. I found this in pieces on Canal Street in the week after the World Trade centre attack.

When I sent it home, Australian customs drilled a bunch of holes in it.
