With a strong surfing family, I have been board riding on Minjerribah many times. Meeting artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins highlighted the Quandamooka’s care for Mother Earth. This resonated with my own environmental concerns. The surfboards show the cause and effect of pollution by humans in the environment. The bleached corals, displaying the organic flow of a branching coral, were created with paper clay reflecting the effect of pollution. Whilst the rubbish on the pollution board displays found objects from beaches arranged into an industrial order, reflecting the cause of ocean destruction.
