Ingrid MorleyArtist Statement“POCKETFULS OF GOLD…………………….BUCKETFULS OF SORROW”“In a time beyond seeing, guided by what is notsaid, I found these textured time wrapped bins. Theywere lying down, whispering their secrets into the quietscarred ground.…………………………………………………. Now asshining guests they see the sunset, the crust of theirsilence broken as a fresh breeze flames the shadowsof these forgotten things” – Ingrid MorleyI came across these industrial hopper bins where theyhad lain for 56 years, in an abandoned copper mine nearOberon, NSW. Their visual power and mysterious presencein this awe inspiring landscape characterised, to me, theambiguous relationship between the productive anddestructive processes associated with mining and industry.Once recovered the hoppers were in terrible shape, theleft side particularly had disintergrated and structurally failed.I nearly abandoned them. The restoration involved finding,fetching, selecting, cutting, welding and modelling materialsto strengthen and match the existing form of weatheredsteel.My intervention of the “handle” suggests the moremenacing aspect of the mining process, a big knife – abig corporation. My intention is to provoke questions aboutwhat we destroy in order to produce.The artist gratefully acknowledges the support of Brian Sinclair of OELEarthmoving, Oberon.Artist BiographyTom Bass Sculpture School – Sydney (1990 – 1992).ParisResidency (2003).
