‘Making Waves’ Strand Ephemera 2017

28 July – 6 August 2017. This is my newest artwork for Strand Ephemera 2017, which is an outdoor sculpture event held in Townsville along the foreshore.

New and old waves are juxtaposed here together along the Strand; one observes the invisible signals created from mobile phones, the other eternally present with the tides.

Making Waves utilises 11,000 discarded SIM cards joined together to form hexagonal cell like grids, which then form two elongated waves, (transmit and receive).  At night under flash there is an unexpected discovery revealed.

I would like to say a huge thanks to all the staff from the Vodafone Qld stores that have contributed.
