‘Australia House’

Cornelia Konrads, Australia House (3) Understory Art & Nature Trail, Northcliffe, 2008

By Cornelia Conrads

(Germany)

Commissioned in 2008

Jarrah, nails, paint

Artist Statement: A house that is stretching out towards the tree? Or is it the tree pushing down the house? Are they supporting each other, or is it a struggle? Happy or sad, they seem to be linked in a relationship – perhaps like us and Nature?

We thank them for their ongoing Care of Country for 50,000+ years. We are inspired by the wisdom & gifts of the oldest living culture on Earth. We are grateful for the guidance of living Elders in the development of Understory.
