'secrets' from the 223 series. made in 2005 for the exhibition A Crowd.
he was finally dismantled after a torn and broken leg....
each piece taken apart and returned to the rescued pile of bits to be used again in something new.

it was a weekend of bike riding, many birds, amazing bush, eating and skinny dipping in the blackwood river.
