Artist Statement:
The Cooks River has a turbulent past, from a flourishing water source to typhoid and now, a heavily polluted wasteland. ‘Puddles’ are hand-embroidered soft sculptures, that mimic rainbow oil slick coating anthropogenic debris and use process to comment on the unsettlingly short timeframe an abundant ecosystem can be tarnished.
