Edgewood Estate

Kurt Brereton
2006

"This is a performance drawing animation that includes the artist as a player. You witness the development of the artwork – every step becomes a frame. This work is about the art-making process, about the ecological time and the built environment. On a political level, the work shows the loss of the rainforest as the housing projects take over. As a result of global warming and climate change a bushfire is seen rushing through the forest destroying the housing estate in its path. What is left is a burnt out wasteland with only the trace of the estate left behind.

The animation is projected onto the gallery next to the large drawing “frame” showing the last arrested end stage. The viewer can witness the history of this estate in an endless loop."
