Multiverse
art work by Sara Irannejad (Qld)
a number of tree stumps decorated.
artist statement: Multiverse celebrates the richness of cross cultural connections in our lives. As an Iranian-Australian I explore multi-layered association of reminiscence and belonging with nature-culture through experiencing the opportunity of living in both environments. Cut roots have long been metaphorically associated with human migration and displacement. These tree stumps carry tattoo-like imagery that are burnt into their skins and are inspired by traditional Persian patterns and calligraphy. They were collected at Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt CootTha an
d belong to widespread species in Queensland that were once planted from introduced seeds.
