Spaces in Between

One year on from the June 2021 storm in the Yarra Ranges, artists Kerri Hollingsworth and Bronwyn Ward explore the loss of an estimated 25,000 trees by creating fibre sculptures to hold and protect memory. They have woven, latch hooked and wound natural fibres into tactile sculptures, incorporating works made with community members as part of Yarra Ranges Council’s Art Attack program.

The works were exhibited from July to August 2022 and participants were invited to wander amongst the spaces in between and reflect on their own experience of loss and change. Visitors could also participate by weaving found natural materials in a communal nature weave to pay homage to the lost trees.
