Artwork Description

Before complexity there exists simplicity. So, what happens when you look back at earlier stages and think.....FUCK IT, shoulda stopped there ! Work your way backwards through 4 photos and select one. Come around and demand that particular variant. I have white paint and can probably get it back to.......nearly. Not quite.
Not quiet. So, the end result now looks cluttered.
Confused. Originally I wasn't comfortable with that. Now I am. Why ??? The subject matter. Abandoned Aboriginal fish traps in itself can carry legend. History can trap myth.
Howard, Windschuttle, Pascoe. Welcoming ceremonies being booed on a sacred day while the fish navigate the River running to the Sea. And it's all so awkward and confusing reflected in mark. Guess I'll just let this one....be.
