Sanctuary is an installation that ‘simulates’ our natural environment. Living in a post-industrialised urban society, people are often out of sync with the beauty and rhythms of nature.
Artist Angela Mezzatesta wishes to share her reverence for the natural environment, always in awe of its beauty and wonder when she walks amongst it.
Sanctuary is made up of washi, kozo and tengucho papers, which are stained with mineral pigments and plant dyes that Angela foraged during her walks. Ochre soils, ironbark sap, wild berries, eucalyptus leaves, flower petals, invasive weeds and grass have been used to create most of the colours in this installation.
