Work by more than 25 artists and 15 scientists drawing on climate research and First Nations knowledge form part of a conversation around the environment, sustainability, and planetary care.
Two tonnes of algae and oyster shells are a far cry from Arthur Boyd’s timeless paintings of the Shoalhaven River, but Kate Scardifield’s installation draws inspiration from the same landscape on the NSW South Coast.transforms the algae and oyster shells into a sculptural work, which she said “traces shifting states of materiality which unfold amongst large-scale steel frameworks and borrowed fishing nets from Greenwell Point”.
Bundanon chief executive Rachel Kent said the 1000-hectare property, situated within a high-risk fire and flood zone, is at the forefront of climate change and extreme weather patterns. In the past three years, the property experienced both fires and floods.“Conversations around the environment, sustainability, and planetary care are central to Bundanon’s mission and they reflect Boyd’s stated intention to promote appreciation of our unique and precious landscape,” she said.
“The work for me is about family, about inheritance, cycles and responsibility, about materiality and fragility and communing with nature,” she said. “I believe these themes all resonate with the site at Bundanon.”
