WELCOME SCAVENGER!
“The Scavenger is a whimsical, creative and interactive piece that takes a look at the classic Australian culture of ‘ making do’. Through the creative recycling of waste material from a broad cross section of industries, “The Scavenger” has become a spiritual/fishing/aquatic themed Mad Max machine promoting creative solutions to future generations. Waste [symbolised by the scrapmetal] continues to be dumped into our oceans and waterways.”
