Blue Sky Something, for tarpspace

‘Blue sky something’ is an ongoing series of installations created on site over the course of the tarpspace journey.

An attempt to recreate moments of significance from time spent living in Mongolia, blue squares of tarp resembling Tibetan prayer flags were temporarily placed in the Australian landscape creating ephemeral and abstract sculptures as offerings to the sky and space.
