Benthic Community Flutes is a sculptural and sound work-in-progress. Sketch 1 (Sandy Ghost Shrimp) has been made with the inter-tidal flows of Moonee Ponds Creek in mind. Video and audio material has been generated during a residency at S-t-u-d-y.space, Brunswick, 4-18 May 2021. This is a work-in-progress, which also takes place alongside and within the larger context of the ongoing Tributaries Collective (Geoff Robinson, Ying-Lan Dann, Saskia Schut, Benjamin Woods). This sketch of Benthic community flutes includes blown glass flutes inspired in part by the burrows of the sandy ghost shrimp, alive in Naarm/bay. Thanks to: Study, Brunswick s-t-u-d-y.space (Ender, Sophie, Dilân); staff and students at Monash University (Dale Meehan, Kate Hill, Dr Terri Bird, Dr Fiona Macdonald); folks from Tributaries collective (Geoff Robinson, Ying-Lan Dann, Saskia Schut); special thanks to Elena Betros-Lopez for video production; and thanks extend to City of Melbourne, Kaylene Brooks, Riley Lee, Friends of the Moonee Ponds Creek, Dr Fiona Bird, and Moreland City Council. I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Boon wurrung Bunurong people of the eastern Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians and owners of the lands, waters and airs on which this work takes place. Sovereignty was never ceded.
