Returning to her home town of Frankston to make this work, Rich has focused on her relationship to the environment. Abstract shapes come from cellular structures to represent pathways and a return to home. A contorted body hangs from the roof, feeling unsettled but also somewhat comfortable. The colours flow across the three sides of the building to create a cohesive yet multi-faceted work.
