goodwill within a community, create a point of difference, build capacity in the local creative sector and/or augment a festival or
commemoration.

weavings depict the humpback whale migration often visible from the installation site and were produced by Mylife Programs Grafton, Coutts Crossing Public

2015 Little fish An interactive sculptural installation at the Surfing the Coldstream Festival where festival goers learnt to weave small fish from lomandra
