Site specific art

Boardwalk - Understory Art & Nature Trail, Northcliffe

Understory is a ‘site-specific’ art trail. This means all artworks have been created in direct response to the Understory experience. Each artist has visited Northcliffe, spent time walking in the forest, talking with locals, researching the area’s history, fauna, flora and culture. The resulting artworks are intentional for a specific site.

This is a key point of distinction between the Understory experience and most other art trails currently on offer in Australia and overseas.

Understory is situated on the land, sea and rivers of the Bibulmun/Pibelmun people of the Noongar Nation; Country that was never ceded. We pay deepest respects to Elders past and present. 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.
