Archives and Red Herrings (2014)
34. Red Herring (Pet Pyramid)
This piece could have been a tribute to the undying appeal of animals
as subject matter for sculptors. Australia’s most popular pets could have been
arranged here as a pyramid to highlight the fact that their
artistic pedigree goes way back to ancient Egypt.
17. Simon Normand, 2007, "Thylacine"
19. Kate Vivian, 2011, "Modified Landscape"
26. Red Herring (Geometry), 2014
25. Red Herring (Covert Nuclear Facility), 2014
8. Red Herring (Open to Interpretation)
18. Red Herring (Bulldozer Tree)
21. Red Herring (Upside Down Tree)
This sculpture could have presented the roots of a tree,
growing towards the sky, like a confused mutation due to some
ecological mishap. Suspicion of humankind's role in this upheaval
could have been heightened by an ultra-shiny, manufactured finish
that reflects not only the surrounding natural environment
but also the viewers themselves.
