Installations

Sometimes an idea comes to me that is inspired by research and the materials at hand.  The ‘shark research nests and eggs’ installation highlights that research and knowledge is indeed a protector, just like a nest protect the young.  I created the nests from scientific research articles printed on plain twisted A4 paper and wove it into nests.  I found the shark eggs washed up on the shore after a large storm near Coffs Harbour.

The large blue bottle installation was used in an Exhibition title ‘OUCH –confronting natures nasties’ at Auckland Museum New Zealand in 2004.
