Magic Cave is a sculptural installation work consisting of a large network of second-hand mouse cages connected by twisted masses of colourful, transparent mouse tunnels snaking through the cages and levels. This work emerges from research I began in early 2023 into the social culture surrounding the mining industry in South Australia, with a specific focus on youth.
