Enduringly Ephemeral

Dust was gathered from around Mildura - a town on the edge of Australia's red desert, and from previous exhibitions, to form a decorative installation in the corners of a gallery. A performance took place, in which the artwork was dusted. The verb 'to dust' is circular. It means both to cover with a fine powder and to remove dust from a surface. In this performance the decorative dust work on the floor of the gallery was dusted over with two sieves,whilst at the same time the long train of the costume swept up the dust.
