Objects for an Unknown Future Museum
Drawing on the legacy of traditions in which humans make objects through which they hope to influence or appeal to nature, these 'reliquaries' employ contemporary local materials. Transforming washed up materials collected from Australian beaches I intend to question what is precious in our moment in history.
