Tarkine in motion

Over 3 days each Easter since 2015 around 100 artists, supported by The Bob Brown Foundation have immersed themselves in the wild and unique landscapes of takyana/Tarkine, one of the last great wilderness areas on the planet. The exhibiting artists bring together a multi-platform exhibition showcasing their interpretation of this wild place. The artists resulting work is brought together for a collaborative exhibition sharing personal experiences of threatened landscapes, from the rugged and serene rainforest, across vast button grass plains, to the jagged rocky shore that shreds the wild Southern Ocean.

2017

​2017 was my first year participating in Tarkine in Motion, my experience of the coastal dune systems was a revelation. The winds of takayna expose an inhabited landscape beneath the coastal dunes of Tasmania’s west Coast; accumulated human experience, patterns of shell, stone and bone reveal a way of life that came before.

2018

Projects from 2018 are still in development the exhibition will be held in Hobart in June 2019. I been exploring Tarkine In Motion participants connection to the environments and landscapes the engaged with and feel connected too.
