Precious Spots
Site-responsive Art, Land Art, Environmental Art, Ecological Art.
An example of art as ecological regeneration, Precious Spots is made from plantings of common and threatened indigenous plant species in a series of three circular planted plots fenced in bush timber, located on the periphery of the bushland in the Toolangi Forest. Most notably the artwork contains the highly endangered plants Pomaderis vacinifolia and Nematolepis wilsonii which have been reduced by bushfire, land clearing. logging and over browsing by introduced species, particularly deer.
