Drawn Lines is made of drawn lines by 23 participants asked where, in their life, they draw a line and to what extent (percentage) they adhere to it. These lines and percentages determined the shape, parts and dimensions of the sculptural situation’s constituting components. Responses included frank, funny, sometimes irreverent though, in all, deeply considered and sincere drawn lines by Will Bennett, Terri Bird, Angela Brennan, David Corben, Max Delany, Domenico Di Clario, Michael Douglas, Mikala Dwyer, June Fintch, Kirsty Fotheringham, Suzanne Hampel, Isabelle Mangeot Hewison, James Hewison, Susan Lale-Demoz, Jean Jacques Lale-Demoz, Shelley Lasica, Philippe Mangeot, Stefan McDonald, Elizabeth Newman, Stephen O’Connell, Robert Owen, Jane Shepherd, and Sally Thompson. Participants’ drawn lines were typed and adhered to the wall. In addition to these, the work’s medium included watercolour, lead pencil and acrylic on wood.
The work comprises components with an overall measurement of 4m by 5.2m by 1.8m high.

I acknowledge the Kulin Nation’s Yaluk-ut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung people as custodians of the lands, waterways and skies where I live and work. I pay my respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. I recognise their cultural faithfulness, strength and resilience against the trauma of colonisation. First Peoples’ sovereignty has never been ceded.
