tidal boundaries sequence

A sequence of environmentally responsive actions undertaken at Redleaf beach in Sydney's east over the course of 4 months. This suite explores the ecological, political and colonial dynamics that continue to contest the land and waters of the Gadigal and Birrabirragal people. 

Much of this sequence addresses a notable rift/breach that has been cut and bent into the fence that attempts to demarcate 7 Shillings Beach as a "private" beach, cut off from the public beach that borders Redleaf pool. By repeatedly drawing attention to the glaring hole in the fence, made and remade by anonymous citizens over decades, the works in the Tidal Boundaries sequence join a tradition of resisting the privatisation of Sydney's coastline 

This project was developed while on residency with The Little Umbrella Collective at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf.
