Landscapes

Gallery: The Vault
Dates: 10/03/2010 - 18/04/2010
ARTIST Julie Collins and Derek John

Every city has its rubbish; we produce waste in every part of out daily lives. It is what we do with this waste which is the crucial point. Do we recycle, reuse, renew or just toss it.

 

Over 5 days, artists Julie Collins and Derek John will re- create the Bundaberg landscape using rubbish collected on Clean up Australia day. Landscapes aims to draw attention to the amount of waste  we produce as a society – creating something beautiful out of something so ugly, making us question our personal actions.
