Blue River, was a finalist in the 2003 Wynne Prize for Australian Landscape at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

It is one of the first I developed of these new works in 2003 using recycled plastic bags as the primary medium. This work is a slight departure from my more recognizable assemblage works in which I used plastics and other detritus collected from the Eastern Australian seaboard.
I am with this work, apart from wishing to express obvious environmental messages, particularly interested in the brilliance of the colours and textures available to me in working with this medium. I am constantly surprised to see the variations in these plastics, in fact much like how I am intrigued by the beach found objects I have collected over the years.
