SLEEPERS
The recycled railway sleepers are made of jarrah, a very hard and rot-resistant Australian hardwood. Despite the hardness of the wood, the sleepers bear the imprint of the granite chippings on which they lay, caused by the thousands of trains that they have carried.
The sculptures use very few fixings: their stability is usually due to the action of gravity and friction – the sleepers weigh about 70kg each.
