mild steel
With this sculpture Tarisse wanted to translate her ‘Campsites’ story into a 3D object. The choice to use metal is a reflection on the strength and longevity of the Australian Indigenous culture and the stories passed down over the centuries. The natural stone was selected to strengthen the connection of the story with land. The rust finish reminds us of the age of the markings and long history of these stories.

I have explored sculptural aesthetics with different mediums, attempting to capture the essence of the struggle of living in a house not fit for habitation, its health implications, and money renters continuously pour into the hands of homeowners without getting much in return. I feel this piece captured the angst and frustration of living through a housing crisis.
This sculpture was inspired by the bushfires in 2019/20, showing the beauty of the Australian bush and how it can turn so deadly so quickly.
Why do I always try to generalise everything? Absolutes simplify the complexity but they are incomplete.

From certain angles, the combination of hand forged heart shapes gives the perspective of a sphere, yet it’s only a partial sphere. A bit half hearted really.
