A Rare Occurrence is installed along the shoreline of Aspen Island which is visited by birds that feel safe in the isolation of the surrounding water. A Rare Occurrence is comprised of five human size sculptural works: a melding of human and bird forms undergoing a metamorphosis into magic realism. They reference the local indigenous possum skinned cloaks and abundant bird life of Lake Burley Griffin.
