Words For New Landscapes: Spruik
Words For New Landscapes is a longitudinal project, documenting monthly, through video, interventions and conversations, the recovery of the bush in the Blue Mountains National Park after the Gospers Mountain fire, Dec 2019.
Spruik recalls that time that Australia’s now Prime Minister brought a lump of coal into Parliament, through re-utilising a series of fabric flags made by the artist that repurposed a press image of that event.
