Skullbone Experiment in Sydney
The Skullbone Experiment is the Tasmanian Land Conservancy's collaboration between art and nature. Following a four-day retreat on the Skullbone Plains in 2012, the eleven participating artists spent the ensuing year developing works of art inspired by their experience.
The variation in the work that was produced is as vast as the landscape itself; paintings, sculpture, photography, pen and ink, and multimedia. The diversity of the artistic impressions are a tribute to the gloriously different responses that nature invokes.
Coinciding with the hugely successful opening at UNSW Galleries in Sydney on July 18, ABC 7.30 ran story about the retreat, the exhibition and the Skullbone Plains.
The ABC 7.30 story and the extended version of the story that appeared on The Mix on News 24 can be viewed here.
The Skullbone Experiment will show at UNSW Galleries, Paddington until 30 August.
