millpond

This symbolic millpond is all we have to represent the political powerhouse that was federation-era Australia.

Wild and rough; rust brown and green; flat as a millpond; metal grey; mother of pearl; silver.

Other ongoing work includes restoring the penstock, the long metal pipe that carries water from the millpond dam to power the water wheel to drive sawmill machinery.

There was no wind, and the sea looked flat and glassy as a millpond.

Only the plan is to run out into the smelly millpond and drown us both.
