Summary |
The overarching theme of Lola Greeno: Cultural Jewels is Storytelling; of the meticulous crafting of stories of cultural knowledge, natural beauty, ancient traditions, and connectedness with her island home. It is also an exhibition of modern issues – contemporary sculptural works feature that are part of Greeno’s response to her concerns for the environmental future of shell stringing in northern Tasmania. The exhibition featured works using unusual and beautiful natural materials such as Echidna quill, feather, rare Maireener shell and bone. |
