00:02Inspired to create an indigenous fish trap, these artists weaved themselves into a problem.
00:08How do you get a super-sized sculpture from the garage to the beach?
00:13We didn't quite think it would be here. We were tossing up doing it at my work or Rusty's place.
00:19But it's just where everything started.
00:21What started small ended up much bigger than planned.
00:25Jed was like, how about we make a whole mullet in the style of an indigenous fish trap?
00:32Sculpting the fish required special permission to harvest pest vine species from a Gold Coast conservation zone.
00:39It's obnoxious. That was half the reason I wanted to use cat's claw,
00:45because I wanted to draw attention to how bad cat's claw is.
00:50After weaving kilometres of vine, a moving method was devised and the mega mullet travelled through the suburbs.
00:59Before rolling into place at the Swell Sculpture Festival.
01:03It's not easy for any of the artists to get their works here to the Corrumban foreshore,
01:08but being outdoors is worth it to deliver a message to the tens of thousands of expected festival goers.
01:14You're really connecting art and nature together, so the environment and the artworks really speak to each other.
01:21We're just amateurs, me and Rusty. We're just having fun.
01:24So I guess it shows to any kids out there that if you want to express yourself through art,
01:30there's always an opportunity to do it.
01:33We are at events, especially since the Internet you ked部 would be able to bear,
01:34Once you're a kid you can find one or two bios to begin with art,
01:34that are also welcome in the area.
01:38Because this is not only the world jogging up somewhere.
