Untitled (Islands)
2017, dimensions: Variable
Materials: Re-used polypropylene sheeting and plastic, floating rope, ski-floats, local vegetation

As temporary drawings on the lake, the ‘islands’ offer imagined vantage points within concentric rings of lake / park / island. With their precarious equilibrium, wayward vegetation, possibly toxic buoyancy, there is an ambivalent proposal suggesting adaptation, amelioration, anxiety and pleasure. Bannerman’s practice explores how found spaces and structures, might be co-opted and re-deployed for growing or cultivation, drawing on overlaps between the social and organic within the context of environmental concerns.

Board 6, 2016-2017

Sharing the spot of Irissee at Donaupark in front of the pavilion, the Board 6 becomes a floating raft. Bond at a tap of the lake's fountain, its position and reflection is changing due to the weather conditions. The round becomes an eight in the mirror of the still water surface – pointing at the Eight Views as a inherent and underlying structure.
