Trace

This work is a reflection on movement— of people, vessels, and time—centred on the rhythmic flow of traffic in and out of the city, and the presence of the Mersey River as both threshold and thoroughfare. This exhibition borrows from, and is informed by, research into the Mersey River, the history of the Victoria Bridge, and the evolving identity of Devonport itself. Undertaken as part of the development process for the Entrance Markers commissioned by Devonport City Council, this body of work explores the narratives, materials, and symbolism that emerged through that research and fed into the final public installation.
