DescriptionSteel and wood sculpture titled 'Arrival 2011' by Garth Lena. This work presents a group of Aboriginal people who have returned to camp after a day’s hunting and gathering, laden with fish to share and assembled together to exchange stories. The boat in their midst is logged within dark curved forms suggesting mangrove roots at the water’s edge.
