Collection: Installation: Beneath Our Feet
This is an installation that has been shown in multiple versions and more are in the works. The installation started with the invitation to the Tree Veneration Society (TVS) to do an installation piece for the Pebble Beach Arboretum in New South Wales. It was my idea to do tree roots between trees, gradually entangling. Happily, another member of the TVS knew how to create the work and got more members involved. Five of us created this piece, using vegetable dies on cotton strips which were then wrapped on rope and wire. It was in the arboretum, outdoors on the ground, between some trees, for the month of their Pearl Beach Arboretum Ephemeral Art Trail. The piece was modified and installed in the Chrissie Cotter Gallery in Sydney (2nd version, with dry leaves as the base and two large tree trunks and my "Entangled" painting) and is in the process of being changed to a vertical installation in the Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability as an (accepted) entry in the North Sydney Art Prize. It's also scheduled to be reinstalled in at least one other venue after that.
