PARKing by Anita King

Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung

Plants, hessian sacks, bronze granite, blonde granite, salvaged steel, soil, paint, and gravel.

Parking takes the form of a temporary grassland in the heart of Collingwood. The work transforms a single parking space into a site of potential, softening the hard city surface with a circular arrangement of hessian sacks and dancing grass.
