Artist Statement
"Copper Spur" is a meditation on architectural transience in an extreme landscape. A Copper Spur tent was carried by the artist on the Larapinta Trail in the Tjoritja West MacDonnell Ranges. It was repetitiously unpacked, constructed, inhabited, deconstructed, re-packed and carried on a daily basis over several weeks. It was a companion for the solo female walker; a suggestive space that listened, spoke, and recorded the journey. Afterwards, the fabric floor of the tent is considered as a site of intense contact points with the landscape that are burnt into its surface.
