The loss of an estimated 25000 trees during the June 2021 storm has impacted all of us. Our collective grief of the enormous gaps left in our landscape is something which connects us all.

Artists Kerri Hollingsworth and Bronwyn Ward explore this loss by creating fibre sculptures to hold and protect their memory. The artists imagined a forest where all is present apart from our lost trees. They have painstakingly woven, latch hooked and wound natural fibres into tactile sculptures. Incorporating works made with community over conversations of the disaster impact as part of Yarra Ranges Council’s Art Attack program.

You are invited to wander amongst the spaces in between and reflect on your own experience of loss and change. Participate by weaving found natural materials in a communal nature weave to pay homage to our lost trees. Kerri and Bronwyn hope these works will encourage you to contemplate what we have lost and how we can become a more resilient community in the future.

This exhibition has been supported by Yarra Ranges Council Art Attack program. 

Join us for the opening on Thu 28 July @ 6.30pm ~ RSVP HERE

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations as the traditional custodians of the land where we live, work & play. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Burrinja extends that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and acknowledges them as the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. It is through valuing their history, traditions, culture and beliefs that we strive to stimulate awareness and promote respect for Indigenous contemporary art and culture and create a positive future for Indigenous and non-indigenous communities together.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was always will be Aboriginal land.
