Material Fix repairs, rather than replicates or restores, the broken bench seating around the concrete picnic tables made by the workers from the now defunct Hume pipe company. Instead crystal clear round resin forms have been installed on the concrete stands.
Making use of the visual and conceptual impact of contrasting materials, the translucent discs appear to suck in and reflect the surrounding park. Material Fix draws attention to the park’s industrial past and serves as a spectral reminder of the workers who made and enjoyed regular picnics after work.
