About the artwork:

Macquarie Harbour (After the Confluence)

At first glance this work looks like a tranquil beach scene but its story is more sombre. Macquarie Harbour, situated on the West Coast of Tasmania, shows numerous  yellow deltas from the confluence upstream of the pristine King river and the contaminated Queen river.

The deltas are the result of over 100 million tons of iron ore tailings from the Mt. Lyell mine and are there for life, coexisting with the beauty of the  harbour.

About the Queenstown collection:

The Queenstown artwork presents a combination of themes: its beautiful, unique but contested landscape, the complex histories of an arts/wilderness/mining town and the connections and closeness of its resilient community.
