‘TREE SPIRITS AND GROWTH’

yorta yorta Country

‘Tree Spirits’, 2015 is located in the charming Russell Lane. By day, this quaint laneway is animated by three suspended Perspex figures. By night the Tree Spirit figures come alive, illuminating the lane with an otherwordly glow of light, inviting visitors to explore the work en route to and from Lilac City Cinema. The half-human, half-spirit figures represent our past, present and future ancestors. The figures are inspired by Aboriginal and Chinese heritage but do not preclude other cultures. The colourful 'spirit' mural pattern was painted on one of the laneway wall surfaces by Goulburn youth in workshops with Jason in January 2015. Jason Wing is Sydney-based and began as a street artist who has since expanded his practice to incorporate photo media, installation and painting. His dual heritage, being both Chinese and Aboriginal is increasingly addressed within his work.

‘Tree Spirits’ public art works in Russel Lane are illuminated Perspex figures, wire cables and enamel aerosol on rendered brick wall. Commissed by Goulburn Mulwaree Council.
