End of the Road (2015) is an in situ installation made in collaboration with Patrick Belford (of Inner City Nature).  Placed within the heartlands of the Tarkine gondwanan landscapes of Tasmania, End of the Road blocks the end of a road in a remnant rainforest logging road. Made from ropes surrendered from the southern oceans, and destroyed forest residue from the roading, this blockade stands in reverence as an alter to the ancients. Erected in 2015, it stood in quiet defiance to the logging of the space, half alter, half blockade till the tragic demise of this mixed species forest in 2017. This project was in coordination with Tarkine In Motion, a large scale residency for artists within the Tarkine. 

Built by Patrick Belford, this simple teahouse uses found materials inside an ancient myrtle forest. This place was next to the Savage River and has been logged and roaded in the early 1900's, though, this massive myrtle trees have coppiced and become beautiful giant trees of these memories. This teahouse still stands strong on the walking track between Corinna and Mt. Donaldson, becoming its own entity, a site for reverance and shrine of remembrance.

Forest : Form : Found: is an opportunity to learn about the forest, to find a form to be with forest and to experience moments of deep interconnection.

Forest: provides a guided ecological experience through the rainforest ecosystem, exploring the evolution of rainforest systems and connections under ground between fungi, trees and soil as well as reflecting on  the threats in a warming climate.

Form: is an opportunity to be with the forest, through sitting within a contemporary tea rite. A tea rite with ancient roots in the Dao. Sitting within Form cultivates stillness enabling awareness to land and to expand.

Found: speaks to our sensory perception of both ourselves, the environment and the ceremony we are sitting in,  providing an experience of being simultaneously separate from, and yet always connected to the external world. Utilising tea and ecological thought as an avatar for insight, so that we may see a glimpse of the forests, our own bare hearts and their entwined destiny.

This teahouse space has a roof of treeferns and is located in Toolangi, Victoria. This small remnant rainforest system is situated amongst a mosaic of clearfells and other threatened mountain ash forests. This work is a Site of Reverence and an opportunity to engage with the forests needing protection in the Central Highlands of Victoria.
