Woven willow sticks: to be sunk into the ground – creating a living fence.

Wurrkundurr
An interpretation of Wurrkundurr: a protection fence used by aboriginal people (documented in Paul Memmott’s Gunyah Goondie + Wurley: The Aboriginal Architecture of Australia). I explored the fundamental desire to feel protected and nurtured. This can manifest by highlighting outlook vs enclosure. By creating direction and outlook, and complementing this with enclosure behind for safety, people begin to feel at ease.
