‘Whole, You Were Meant To Be Here’ by Lorenna Grant. Commissioned in 2006 by Southern Forest Arts for the Understory Art & Nature Trail in Northcliffe, Western Australia

Understory Artworks

Understory Art & Nature Trail artworks

Understory artworks include sculpture, poetry, stories and mucis.

We are interested in the diverse ways the human imagination responds to the sights, sounds, smells, stories and spirit of place.

We love sharing these creative responses with our community & visitors.

Inspiration

All Understory artists, writers and musicians spend time in Northcliffe developing artworks that are 'site-specific'. Sources of inspiration and methods of creation are as diverse as the artists themselves.

Themes they are asked to consider include:

  • SPIRITUALITY - sacredness, sanctuary, forest as cathedral, meditation, mystery...
  • CREATIVITY - fertility, energy, life cycles, renewal, beauty, inspiration...
  • HISTORY - geological, ecological and human (from early Indigenous to contemporary)...
  • DICHOTOMY - contrasts of nature (light and drak, growth and decay) diversity, paradox...
  • SENSORY - the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touch of the forest...

The potential for inspiration from each and every place is infinite.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands upon which we live and work, in particular those from Pibbulmun country within the Noongar Nation, where we are based.

We recognise that Aboriginal sovereignty was never ceded and that Australia was and always will be Aboriginal Land.

We pay our respect to Elders past and present and look forward to supporting those that are just emerging.
