PRESENT BEING

2023
Hobart Current

Hobart, Australia

Commissioned as part of Hobart Current at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Present Being addresses the ongoing climate crisis and the consequences of decades of insufficient action on climate change affecting Tasmania’s vulnerable alpine landscapes.

Mapped within its over 3,000 charred pillars, this work incorporates topographic data and six months of climate data related to the 2016 fire season that devastated a large swath of Tasmania’s central plateau.
