From 1988 to 1990, Tim Jones made a series of works based on an elaborate New Guinean sculpture which was originally used as a house-post for an above-water dwelling in Sentani Lake, West Papua. These little known works on paper from the University of Melbourne Art Collection were, for the first time, shown together with three related sculptures from the artist's collection. An important inclusion in this exhibition was two Papua New Guinean shields from the Leonhard Adam Collection of International Indigenous Culture. The shields were included to indicate the influence of works from this region in Jones's art. This exhibition also featured Jones's major sculptural work Covert 7 City from the University of Melbourne Art Collection and the 1990 sculpture Good Afternoon at 'Levitating Phenomenon' from the artist's own collection.
