150 pallet canvasses, each 1050 x 270 mm, indexical marks, sand, seaweed and glue on canvas

Over a five week period fifteen Karri pallets were placed in various locations in Princess Royal Harbour, from Inner Brambles, on Vancouver Peninsula to Peace Park, directly in front of the city. Each pallet held two canvasses, one vertical, and the other, a horizontal one, located close to the sea bed. The canvasses were changed weekly.

The artist worked as a facilitator engineering the circumstances to allow wind, water and harbour elements to mark the canvasses. The canvasses not only record the weather from the 24th of March to the 4th May 2015, but tell the story of each location. Canvasses from some sites have dense heavy layers of weed, while others are characterised by clean rippled sand. In exposed locations, the weed was chopped and fragmented, while in more sheltered spots the canvasses were marked by still and soupy algae sediment. With close scrutiny, tracks of shellfish, and even small prawns can be seen on some canvases. There were times when the vertical canvasses, exposed at low tide, were marked with guano as birds perched on the uprights, only to be washed clean when there was heavy overnight rain. Some canvasses have spots, recording the rain falling as they were being taken out of the water. Diary entries and weather records support what is recorded on the canvasses.

These canvases were exhibited in the Mamang Koort and The Matter of Mutual Memory exhibitions in 2016.
