Current
Tree Story brings together creative practices from around the world to create a ‘forest’ of ideas relating to critical environmental and sustainability issues. At its foundation—or roots—are Indigenous ways of knowing and a recognition of trees as our ancestors and family. An exhibition, publication and podcast series, Tree Story takes inspiration from the underground networks, information sharing and mutual support understood to exist within tree communities, and poses the question: what can we learn from trees and the importance of Country?
Never Alone

Never Alone, is a new digital work developed during isolation that focuses on the First Nations cultural concept of the interconnectedness of all things:- people, plants, animals, landforms and celestial bodies. One is never alone on Country and First Nations philosophies and systems encompass the value of all life and the accumulated history of place.
During the COVID-19 period, there has been a reframing of how we collectively perceive time. We have a remembered past, an anxious present and an uncertain future. Never Alone encourages a reflective response to our current state of existence and suggests the incorporation of Indigenous philosophies, knowledges and relationships to navigate a connected pathway forward.
