Isle Of Plenty
Artistic Director
Isle of Plenty is a project comprising site-specific installations of scale in Lillico, Cygnet and Bridport that reflect and celebrate identity, people and place.
Sea Flowers - Sara Lancaster artist
Bridport is a seaside town with beautiful beaches and coastline. Sea Flowers by Sara Lancaster fuses fauna, flora and other elements of the landscape. The organic shape of starfish morph into mythic sculptural flowers that bob and parade on the tidal flats of Bridport. The incoming and outgoing tides will provide a dramatic effect over and through the artwork.
Hood - Tony Ruffels artist
Lillico is a rural community with agriculture as its primary industry. Recent issues in the region such as the Fair Dinkum Food Campaign and the development of the environmental sustainability of natural resources inform the installation. Hood by Troy Ruffels is a work using car bonnets installed en masse into the landscape. Their reflective properties mirror the landscape around them and raise questions concerning our relationship with nature.

Hut Culture - Nicolas Goodwolf artist
Cygnet is at the heart of apple production south of Hobart. In times past, apple pickers' huts, often clustered in little village formations near or on the orchards, housed the great numbers of seasonal workers and were an integral part of the local community and it's culture. Due to mechanisation and chagnes in the fruit industry there has been a passing of this custom. Hut Culture by Nicolas Goodwolf reconstructs an apple pickers village and celebrates the people, the produce and the tradition.
