The project has evolved to represent a silt catchment or stormwater fence, a filter catching memories of ice-skating in Alfred Park.
The collected plastics, industrial waste and textiles are stitched up in the gridlock of cyclone fence. Materials have been salvaged from various dumpsters and building sites across the city.
Kids in the community can see how public art space is all around, crying out for a touch of creative ingenuity. Imagine a city where pictures, paintings, slogans are everywhere and a blank wall, or section of fence, was prime piece of artistic real estate. The works were created with the deft cross-stitch assistance of Rebecca Lampard, Shaearn Mitchell and the
fabulous Boys and Girls Brigade After School Care kids.
