Murray River

A dense layer of small, rounded pebbles in shades of grey, cream, and warm ochre, closely packed together make up this exposed concrete. The mix of colors and smooth shapes is reminiscent of the riverbank edges along the Murray River, where the water gently laps against a bed of time-worn stones.

These pebbles could easily be imagined underfoot on a warm afternoon, with the sound of flowing water nearby and the scent of eucalyptus drifting from the gum trees that line the river. The natural variation in size and tone mirrors the way the Murray’s currents sort and scatter stones along its bends, creating a textured mosaic shaped by decades of flow.
