OSCAR PERRY & ROWAN MCNAUGHT
Ballysiléachn I
28 Nov 2012—15 Dec 2012
A dry stone wall is actually two separate but interlocking walls, tied at regular intervals by longer through or tie stones. Armed with only a seldom used hammer, a good waller can balance a structure that will last for centuries, finds Jon Henley.
Oscar Perry and Rowan McNaught are Melbourne-based artists, focused on collaborative and open-ended projects. Recent exhibitions between the two include Imperial Leather (Utopian Slumps), Spam Hut (West Space), Stonehenge (Rearview).
