Oi, 2019



Inspired by the beautiful landscape of Brow Head, these flags frame the land, sea and sky. Due to the movement of the fabric, different elements of the view are revealed and concealed. The circular shape is a theme running throughout the artworks, with reference to the sun, moon and stars. The audience were invited to spend time with the flags, observing them at different points throughout the day and in different types of weather.
