Moving Graffiti; The Verdant Shed

Moving Graffiti: The animation shows a map of the Shoalhaven River morphing into an Australian Bass fish leaping out of the river. The Bass are in decline due to weirs and dams blocking migration on most of our rivers. Tallowa Dam on the Shoalhaven excluded the Bass from more than 80% of their habitat before the fish lift was built. Australian Bass are a good fish to eat, but should only be taken from stocked areas. This moving graffiti has been projected onto several locations around Bundanon. Moving Graffiti is installed the Bundanon Homestead Library from 29 September throught to 29 October 2012. The Verdant Shed: A projection piece where the long dead trees that are the posts supporting the old shearing shed come to life. The Verdant Shed was projected onto the Study Centre at Bundanon on the night of the 29th of September 2012 as part of SITWORKS: Future Food Feast. Siteworks is an ongoing series of interactive projects focusing on the unique Bundanon properties: 1100 hectares of pristine bush land overlooking the Shoalhaven River, which is Arthur and Yvonne Boyd’s gift to the Australian people. Siteworks invites selected arts practitioners, scientists and scholars to meet and stay at Bundanon, responding to the site through the lens of their specific discipline and areas of interest. This has led to stimulating conversations and collaborative site-specific projects.
