Poster text: Kylie Colemane picked ruby salt-bush from behind her, next to the concrete stairs. The berries just got that burst of colour when you pushed them down. All of this stuff is around us and we just don’t know. We can make art without going to a shop. And it’s all-natural, with no chemicals at all.
