The park is the site of an alleged attempt on the life of the artist’s father as he walked home from the night shift at the Kandos Cement Works on the 8th September 1952 by a hit and run driver. An outspoken union shop steward and advocate for social justice Jack Williamson was agitating for industrial action to improve conditions for workers and aiming to realise his political ambitions. The artists re-open this unsolved case and through fact and mythology produce an onsite installation accompanied by the final edition of ‘The Kandos Voice’ based on ‘political propaganda produced by Williamson at the time.
The artists acknowledge the contribution of Ian Milliss – collaborator and editor of ‘The Kandos Voice’
