Mellor's work was represented in the first National Indigenous Art Triennial in 2007, with the elaborate ( and elaborately named ) sculpture " The contrivance of a vintage Wonderland ( A magnificent flight of curious fancy for science buffs, a china ark of seductive whimsy, a divinely ordered special attraction, upheld in multifariousness ) " featuring a diorama that included sculpted kangaroos made with blue and white crockery fragments ( evoking Spode bone china ), real kangaroo skin ( used for the ears and paws ), and stuffed birds sat in a life-sized mixed-media tree overhead.
