Artworks
Understory artworks include sculpture, poetry, stories and music.
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, including:
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.
