The Waiting Room

2004 -

          This small building was the former waiting room for the ferry on Mayne Island. Having been relocated several times and used for a multitude of purposes it was eventually demolished by a falling tree.

         Two ten-meter high scaffold towers with a bridge between them were constructed to photographically record the building as it lay in a heap. The subsequent removal of layers of debris was carefully documented the ntransferred to my home where I store the remains.

          The wall boards are covered in graffiti carved into them a century ago while passengers waited for the ferry to arrive. From the mass of parts left behind I engage in creative forms of documentation.
