Description

Signage installed on site reads:

“Colour, form, and materials are used symbolically referring to Court functions. Black overlapping boards evoke the dress of Counsel, a central canvas references vulnerability and the accused, print alludes to legal precedent and record and reflective elements and imperfections include the viewer as a witness in the work itself.”
