My partner and I have always been keen advocates of regeneration. We believe there is a huge opportunity for our generation to give back to the land, and what better way to do this than with natives.
Our goal for our property is to plant a full range of companion native plants that work together to create an ecosystem that will encourage local and endangered species.
I approached our local Landcare Nursery for native tubestock and met an amazingly innovative group of people within our community. The Landcare Volunteers are one of those groups that are giving so much back to our region. Their support for local agriculture, education and sustainability encourage others like us to push to the boundaries of what regeneration means.
I was inspired to share this motive and created a sculpture that would resonate with other landcarers, which I presented to Watershed Landcare as a thank-you for the tireless work they do.
REGENERATION embodies the harmony of regenerating Australian native ecosystems by employing repetition together with a simplistic shape to allow you to focus on the empty space created.
This ’empty space’ is the land in which Watershed Landcare aims to heal. It is a call to revitalise Australia’s flora and fauna whose habitat is disappearing.
This piece makes a strong statement for the need for environmental education and protection of our natural ecosystems for future generations.
