Moments of surprise and wonder abound when you become aware of the big small worlds of organisms hidden away in Tasmania’s oldest forests and waterways.
Moving through nature, observation zooms into the micro and takes on a different kind of attention.
Through the lens of artists Helene Boyer, Christie Lange, Sarah Lloyd OAM, Nataša Milenović, Anne Morrison, Emily-Rose Wills and poet Kristen Lang the magical, vibrantly coloured and mysterious slime moulds, nudibranchs, seaweeds, mosses, fungi, lichens, pollen and seeds are brought into focus.
These are the processors of decaying matter, food sources, ocean acidification reduction, carbon capture, filters for air and water, moisture regulators, indicators
of air quality, pollination and new growth — among many other superpowers.
It’s amazing to consider their importance to life on this planet given how tiny they are in size. Their impact is profound in maintaining the health and biodiversity of the ecosystems amongst which we live.
It is hoped that through this exhibition you are prompted to look with eyes tuned in to these tiny yet mighty lifeforms.
