In Connells Bay Sculpture Park, Mitchell has installed a Stealth Cell Tower; a manufactured pine tree form that cloddishly camouflages to its surroundings in an attempt to hide in plain sight. This large and highly conspicuous tree transmits a radio signal across the park on an FM radio bandwidth (that can be tuned into by visitors), on an endless loop.
The Stealth Cell Tower — a manufactured tree employed by the telecommunications industry to camouflage hardware on the landscape — attempts to hide in plain site.
