An Auspicious Find
15,000 marbles create images which reference the ecological environment a visitor might experience when visiting Prince's Island Park.
About the work
Four pixilated images represent the flora and fauna of the area in a spontaneous and unique fashion. The marbles shimmer and shift in colour depending on the time of day, while the images become abstracted the closer the viewer stands to the sculptures themselves. Look closely. Can you see yourself?
