Day Beacon
(detail) 2005.
Day Beacon is the first in a series of mobile works, where landscape fragments are suspended on cables by construction crane armatures.
The armatures feature hand cast cement counter weights, lead weights and pulleys.
The beacon ( based on the Rickets Point beacon VIC.) is a navigational device used by seafarers to align a channel through hazardous waters.
The use of the solitary beacon upon these fragments of a once larger landmass could refer to a sense of submerged danger or navigational hazard which is at risk of going undetected without the beacons counterpart; a second inverse triangular beacon further out on the horizon.
