Amanda STUART,<br />
‘Bush pack (nil<br />
tenure)’<br />
2011<br />
bronze<br />
This work is a pack of seven bronze dogs in three<br />
groups, that appear to be coursing through <strong>City</strong><br />
Walk in the direction of the Civic Carousel. The<br />
work is human/canine in scale. Stuart’s practice is<br />
embedded in issues around landscape and fauna,<br />
in particular the conflicted relationship between<br />
humans and wild dogs. The artist made the originals<br />
of these works in impermanent materials – fabric,<br />
wrapped like bandages – and the bronzes are cast<br />
from those original works. Currently this work is a<br />
little invisible as the pack has been broken up by<br />
newly installed garden beds; apparently there is a<br />
possibility the work will be relocated.<br />
