Drift 2024
Home Docklands, Melbourne, Australia.
Drift 2024 is a suspended sculptural installation embedded within the landscape of Home Docklands. Bronze-cast rocks, modelled from blast-furnace slag, are distributed at varying heights through the planters along La Trobe and Stadium Lane, their placement responding to the site’s gentle topography.
Small niches within the forms support local plant species sustained by an integrated irrigation system. Water moves slowly across the bronze surfaces, recalling the presence of Birrarung (the Yarra River) and the role of water in shaping landscapes over time.
As the bronze patinates and the plants establish themselves, the work gradually entwines with its surroundings, transforming industrial residue into a living structure where material histories and ecological processes converge.
