The Edge exhibition brought together 12 of the Canberra region's emerging and established artists to investigate life on the edge.

How does place influence us? How does space affect our responses, our actions, our dreams? How do we interject ourselves into the universe? How do we live on the edge.

Incrustation 1 is part of a 3 piece installation which explores what happens at the point where the shore meets the lake.  The cable ties are ‘hooked’ onto metal fencing wire which has been manipulated into a shape reflecting the rocks you would expect to find when you are walking along the water’s edge.  They are incrusted as a result of the constant action of the water on the rocks.
