LAUN
A collection of sonic sculptures created by Quandamooka artist Megan Cope from discarded mining relics, geological samples and piano strings. The sculptures echo their distinctive, haunting song of the endangered yellow-eyed Bush Stone-curlew—a harbinger of death, used here to draw focus to the climate crisis and unsustainable extractive practices.
