“Dig and Delve” 2018. Hendrie Street Inclusive Playground by Laura Wills and Will Cheesman. Commissioned by City of Marion
An oversized spade stands in the ground, momentarily balancing. This artwork aptly named Dig and Delve, is by artist team Laura Wills and Will Cheesman. Created in 2018, this artwork is located in the Hendrie Street Reserve Inclusive Play Space, Park Holme. The artwork represents local agriculture, river life and village settlement. The blade becomes a canvas for images both tactile and visual (why not bring some paper and crayons and take rubbings of the little creatures), small gongs as keys for playing tunes, and atop the worn wooden handle sprouts a tree twisting up to the sky with birds perching.
Commissioned by City of Marion, with assistance from the Government of South Australia through Arts South Australia.
