To reflect on the Illawarra culture of dumping rubbish in the local escarpment bush. To reflect on the limited capacity of art to effectively intervene in the culture of dumping – perhaps only through doubling and complicity is anything possible? To remediate Land Art traditions by intervening not in nature itself, but in a layer of impure addition and by deliberately avoiding the grand scale of 60’s US Land Art. The work also plays homage to the cutting works of Gordon Matta-Clark
