Spear: L. 1640mm (approximate) Artist StatementRecalling the 'policeman's hat' positioned at the centre of intersections to prevent drivers from cutting the corner when turning, the hat was also referred to as a 'silent cop'. No longer in use, out in a country town someone was selling this fine example. On the journey to collect, I located a couple of sapling eucalypts in a tract of recently burned bush which I fashioned into the spear. Dedicated to all perpetrators of Police abuse and deaths in custody pertinent to Indigenous mob.Accession NumberG2021.18.1Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
