Tony Albert, Healing Land, Remembering Country, 2020.
Installation view for the 22nd Biennale of Sydney (2020), Cockatoo Island.
Feather Edge worked closely with Artist Tony Albert, to design and fabricate the shade structure and planter stands for the installation. Visitors were invited to write notes of healing to the land on seed embedded parchment. these are planted and allowed to grow within the structure. Our Brief from Tony Albert was to design a dome structure that was anti-colonial in its style. The structure itself sits at odds with in the convict courtyard on cockatoo island and now rests permanently on Elizabeth farm one of the first colonial farms in Australia.
Commissioned by the Biennale of Sydney with generous support from the Australia Council for the Arts and Create NSW, Medich Foundation.
