In Fell, artist Luke George retraces his roots in lutruwita/Tasmania, recalling in particular the impacts of people on forests and forests on people. Hanging in a state of balance with a log that is equal in weight to his body, Luke engages with something much greater, floating a history that is both ancient and urgent. By suspending the human will to power, this artwork invites other memories, including those of the ecosystem, to become sensible.
