Visitors are invited to add their own words to these 'works in progress' by artist Peter Forward. Both 'Truth Untruth' and 'Locked Inside' are artist's responses to Australia's treatment of refugees.

So you think things are bad…. costs twice as much to fill the car… the price of food keeps going up….young people drink and run the streets…the city is a danger zone…. We’re all getting too fat. Our friends are getting cancer. Kids keep drawing on the walls. The world is going crazy. I don’t understand art anymore. My kids won’t talk to me. The rivers are dying. It won’t rain.. or rains too much. I think the poles are melting, we could drown. The military keeps fighting wars, I don’t know why. Religious leaders incite to kill. People explode. The new churches frighten me. The times are out of joint. Just leave me alone. I can’t take any more. Let me stay inside. Let me watch a late-night show. Let me listen to my Walkman. Just let me chill out in my spa. I just want to watch the game. I can’t help the hungry people. God, help us. Protect us. Please God.
