Flood tide (2013)

This work was shot near the footbridge at Foord Avenue on the Cooks River in Hurlstone Park.  The Cooks is one of the most polluted rivers in Sydney. The E. coli levels in the river are 60 times the safe limit for swimming. There is also a large amount  of rubbish that floats up and down the river with the tides. The action in this video is a kind of poetic re-imagining of a small piece of that rubbish.
