A Stick Developing Eyes

Lauren Burrow

11 Sept–10 Oct, 2020

“I had not gone more than five or ten minutes down the channel when, rounding a bend, I saw in midstream what looked like a floating stick, one I did not recall passing on my way up. As the current moved me toward it, the stick developed eyes.”

- Val Plumwood, Being Prey

Sculpture oriented around the life and work of Val Plumwood; philosopher, writer, and activist who survived a saltwater crocodile attack in Kakadu in 1984.

This work was developed during an artist residency at the Northern Territory Wildlife Park.
