This exhibition examines how fire shapes landscape and impacts on the psyche of people whose homelands are affected by fire. It draws together Tasmanian artists working across a range of mediums including interactive video, jewellery, architectural performance, sculpture and furniture.

The artists envisage fire as a destructive force and ever-present threat, as well as a mechanism of renewal and a sculpting force across the island. Engagements include Gay Hawkes’ documentation of loss to fire, Philip Blacklow’s thermally modified furniture and Neil Haddon’s vibrant paintings.
