Jazz Money, Only Country Lasts Forever, 2024, powder coated aluminium and steel, solar lighting, (foot plates: 80 x 80cm), TCG023639

'Only Country Lasts Forever' responds to the buildings and infrastructure of Canberra, asking viewers to consider the manipulation of Country that creates the landmarks of the nation's capital. Interrupting view lines across the Canberra line axis of the parliamentary triangle, the imposing text reminds audiences of the ever present, sovereign soil below their feet, and the simple truth that only Country lasts forever.
