More insertions. These ones constructed from flood debris on the Yarra.
Category Archives for 'Insertion'
The Yarra River (Birrarung) flooded earlier this year reaching levels not seen for a really long time (due to years of drought). At the time I witnessed an incredible amount of debris moving downstream. As water levels subsided a spooky environment was created with plastic bag canopies high up in trees and large expanses of cracked mud.
I had been sifting through some of the debris for raw materials to create more insertions when I noticed a peculiar phenomenon. Amid the branches, soft drink bottles, and assorted rubbish were dozens of tennis balls! I recovered 68 in five minutes, all from that small patch of debris. Imagine how many there are in the whole 242 kms of river!
Near my house there’s an amazing park that is basically an untamed strip of land running along the Yarra River with a few tracks through it. I ride and walk there a bit, and a little while ago I created these ‘insertions’. Not sure where this is going yet. More coming soon.
