The multi-media installation Multiple Threat Protection references the post-apocalyptic novel "On The Beach" by Nevil Shute by drawing a parallel between the helplessness of a fictionalised Frankston at the end of human history and the current situation of powerlessness in a collapsing environment.

This installation suggests protective measures we may take against the present dangers in our eroding community.

From Doug Heslop’s ongoing Archetype Project, this work attempts to connect the historical notion of
the Australian figure in landscape painting with contemporary performance and object making.

A masked mystical creature is filmed journeying through the surrounding landscapes of Frankston.
It roams the fringes of urban sprawl where the bush meets with the man-built environment.
From another world, yet bound to earthly concerns, Heslop’s sinister character risks appearing somewhat comical in a society
increasingly immune to shock.
