SALLY STONEMAN

The beauty of the Australian landscape and its ability to evolve and change in a climatically challenged world is a strong inspiration for Stoneman’s sculptural practise.

TREESON explores the impact of human development on the environment through the manipulation of the ‘Rabbit proof’ fencing wire to give form to fencing in the Mulga tree.

This work is part of a larger conversation about our place and responsibility to the environment and to the people that live here.
