这座主要的雕塑作品是为Transurban设计的，位于墨尔本艺术区一个难以进入的高速公路出口岛上，它提供了一种艺术作品与栖息地相结合的综合方式。太阳能电池板为照明提供电力，鸟箱为野生动物提供庇护。我们在这个环岛的四周设置了铁丝网，用于阻隔误闯此地的民众。同时，除了装置区域之外，我们种植了大量的植被，让这里变成一片绿岛。当这些种植被将不断长高变大，最终包围这些装置时，这些散落的雕塑装置将摇身变为灌木丛中的“遗迹”。
Designed for Transurban and situated in the Melbournes Art precinct on an inaccessible freeway off-ramp island, this major sculptural installation provides an integrated approach of artwork paired with habitat. Solar panels power provide some electricity for lighting, bird boxes provide shelter for wildlife, Steel mesh has been incorporated into the forms so that the vegetation can “take over” and the site has been heavily planted and not accessible to the general public. Our aim on the project was that the trees and planted landscape will eventually grow up and around the sculptures so that they become part of the landscape as opposed to being the key feature. Sort of relics in the bush.
Habitat Filter由一系列大小各异的“舱体”构成，最大“舱体”高度超过了25米。这些“舱体”集成了各种可持续性元素，包括专门为鸟类和蝙蝠设计的庇护巢箱，为夜间照明提供能源的太阳能电池板，以及在建造中使用的回收材料。
Habitat Filter features a series of ‘pods’, the largest over 25m high, with a range of sustainability elements including specially designed nesting boxes for birds and bats, solar panels to offset nighttime lighting energy needs and the use of recycled materials in construction.
