This piece was commissioned to adorn the feature stone in the ‘Poet’s Corner’ of Central Park in Bourke. The full text, written by Andrew, is engraved by Ian Marr in Mintaro slate and in-layed in the paved area as well as a large extract being lettercut into this feature stone.
Your story is a river.
A cursive script flowing
at the speed of ink
and thought.
Read as a history,
and written by you,
now.
Winding and Wending.
Traversing and linking.
A chart of high and low markers,
treacherous shoals navigated,
crossings and
confuences.
