Not just the border between two Australian states, the mighty Murray is now the threshold we cross entering the National Gallery of Victoria. The river flows on the interior of the NGVâs iconic water wall. Indigenous artist Glenda Nicholls has recreated a metaphoric Murray made from thousands of hand-woven knots. Adorning the undulating 16m net are hundreds of hand-made feather flowers, crafted from a mix of bird feathers dyed and accented with dark emu feathers.
