La lune nature walk

Saturday 17 May

 

The last of the Hilltop to Headland

meandering in May

 

Tonight we are meeting Leonie

our guide. She had with her the curator

of this art display, so he could

explain to us.

 

La lune: Energy producing art

 

The art display is along the Long Reef cliff,

from the surf pavilion right to the top

of the cliff where the hand gliders jumped

off the cliff. ( but not in the dark).

 

We had an excellent night for our walk.

mild and calm.

 

I don't have good photos, they were

mostly blurred.

LOST

A tear shed for lost species and habitat gone

already,and those that will be lost that

could have been saved



 

HOUSEWORK

by Angela Robinson

A symmetrical, miniature replica of the artist's

childhood home

is highlighted by torchlight, producing shadows and reflections

simultaneously. Within the broader context of

Australian immigrant experience, this work

explore ideas of domestic space.

 

FULL MOON

HUGO and EMMY

by Karl De Waal

These two owls sitting in the tree signify the lives of

two people, Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings.

Almost a hundred years ago in Zurich, amidst the

backdrop of the great war, they decided to establish

the Cabaret Voltaire. It was a gesture that was to

jettison art into a new age.

A transcendental moment filled with optimism

and hope for a more enlighten world.

Today they sit perched on the branch of a tree

overseeing the fruits of their legacy.

 

The magic still lingering.
