This project was funded by City of Port Phillip Cultural Development Fund.

Timepiece sculpture was created during my residency at Shakespeare Grove Artist Studios situated on the grounds of Veg Out Community Gardens. It is constructed from 96 translucent resin tiles which incapsulate portraits of the gardeners drawn from life. Each tile also has some writing and personal objects embedded. This project captures faces, dreams and mementos of this idealistic and alternative community in the heart of touristy and ever more mercenary suburb of St Kilda.

The sculpture is now permanently installed the The Veg Out Community Gardens.
