tidal
zone
an exhibition of contemporary furniture and
objects
co-presented by the Design Centre - Tasmania and
the furniture designers association.
Design Centre - Tasmania, in Launceston from March 23 - May 13 2007,
touring regional Australia till December 2008
tidal zone
asked designers and makers to consider the tidal zone - the space
where land and sea meet.
On an island this is the ‘edge’ that delineates the island's geographical space.
But this is also a shifting space in which discarded, found and natural
materials are collected and combined after the tide has washed away the previous
landscape. The ‘tidal zone’ is a locus for disruption, unusual juxtapositions,
change and new creation.
