in 1997 and since then, he's comes north nearly every winter to create a

made light aircraft from Moorabbin Airport, that are bolted upright with their
tails wedged into the ground.
This was soon followed by ‘Dream Catcher’, ‘Spinning Car’ and ‘Time Tree’.
And as a conscientious conservationist, all the works are created from recycled
rubbish.
