I was here

I was here, first

I made this work as a reflection on our human-centric lives in the age of the Anthropocene.

We like to declare 'I was here'. The planet is marked by it like never before.

The work placed in nature, in a temporary installation on ANU grounds, was set up as a dialogue.

The manufactured carpet represents people and their machines. What if nature, here represented as a tree, could talk and say 'I was here, first'?

Material used: Recycled cotton rug, spray paint, twigs.
