Spiral Garden

This project was in partnership with Creative Victoria’s Artists-In-Schools Program. Students of year 9 at Weeroona Secondary College in Bendigo created a large scale outdoor Environmental art sculpture in the school grounds. The students were participating in an environmental science elective and many were  introduced to the concept of art as a tool for environmental investigation and advancement. The process included research, design and development and construction. Some of the highlights of the project included: an excursion to the local indigenous nursery to look at plant types, studying the history of labyrinths and their cultural significances, a presentation from Indigenous educator, Bambi Lees, making a documentary and a presentation to the school.
