Two Rivers 2021 a collaboration with Fintan Magee
A collaboration with Fintan Magee
This work explores the human connection to waterways within Beenleigh's geographic location. Beenleigh is wedged between the Logan River to the North and the Albert River to the south. The artwork features two floating figures, painted as a diptych, on two tall, pillar-like walls of the building, with the two painted walls representing the two rivers. Logan and Beenleigh's waterways are essential for our environment, economy and livelihoods. They have many functions, from reducing flooding to producing clean water and food for domestic, industrial, and agricultural use. Waterways also provide essential habitats for many animals and plants. This piece encourages water play and explores our broader connection to nature, as well as our local connection to the rivers, the bay, and the coastline.
