Tractor is Land

John Turier and John Roberts

Site: Cottage Creek

A massey fergurson tractor is displayed as a melancholy relic from the Upper Hunter. The team is compelled by the oddness of this site and hopes to memorialise the tractor in this junction of urban infrastructure.

“The little fergie can change nothing, only dream of farming and rain and work and of going home. She aligns the flow of the river, the roll of the road, the tracks and hammer of the trains, the grid of the built world.”

This installation was eventually located within a shopfront window at Honeysuckle.
