DESCRIPTION
TitleInflorescence
Date2021DescriptionAfter living in the Blue Mountains for the past 16 years, I have realised that nature can have a positive impact on our lives. Research has shown that being surrounded by nature helps us reduce anxiety and stress as well as increases our attention, creativity and ability to connect with other people.
During the recent drought followed by the black summer bushfires, I have also come to understand how strongly our mental wellbeing is connected to the health of our environment. With this artwork I want the viewer to connect with and learn about our precious native flora and fauna. As Dr. Jane Goodall said “Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, shall all be saved.”
The artwork includes wildflowers like the white and yellow Paper Daisy, blue Flax Lily, Flannel Flower, Waratah, Grevillea, Correa wild fuchsia and much more. I want this artwork to be eye catching and welcoming visitors to the Shellharbour area as well as celebrate our rich and diverse native flora and fauna.ArtistMandy Schöne--SalterGeolocation[1] AddressCnr Pioneer Drive and New Lake Entrance Road, Oak Flats, 2529, AustraliaExternal LinkMural Art Trail
