Kingston Arts Centre
The 'Skybridge' projection is on the south side of Kingston City Hall, connected to 999 Nepean Highway.
A collage of indigenous flora endemic to the region of the Bunurong Land is transformed into moving image sequences—projected onto Kingston Town Hall—that evoke a reimagined ‘wildlife corridor,’ a habitat crucial for the survival of the region’s endangered floristic communities.
Refugia explores the indigenous flora of the sand heathlands, a habitat classified as endangered in the Kingston region. Selected plant material is gathered and scanned or photographed to create choreographed sequences of moving image that form a reimagined wildlife corridor. Such corridors are vital for maintaining biodiversity and ecological connectivity.
The title Refugia refers to habitats that provide protection for threatened floristic communities—here, the fragile sand heathlands. The work moves between vibrant growth and gradual decay, reflecting the vulnerability of endangered species and the fragility of life in the face of environmental damage and neglect.
