Protect Native Forests 2023

Clay and linen thread

This work explores a special place on the planet. The tall tree trunk like vessel is finely carved with leaves that are Indigenous to Australia and which symbolise growth and the abundance of the forests. We need to protect our native forests. Forests have a fundamental role in the carbon capture capabilities of our earth’s biosphere. Alternatively, logging worsens bushfire risk, reduces soil quality, impacts on climate and destroys animal habitat leading to vulnerable and endangered species. Message “tagging” is used to ensure the messages can be read widely and are loud and clear. We need to do better now!
