Enviro Art-Pod Project

The sounds of birds and crunch of bark under foot, scent of eucalypt and the tickle of banksia flowers on the skin became this installation inside Wollongong Council's creative container.
A giant black crow , the Aboriginal totem animal of one of the students was constructed with palm leaves an branches and blackened with crushed charcoal.
Students created a mural including native animals and vegetation.
This sensory installation was created by students from Kanahooka High School and activated Dapto Square, Wollongong over 10 weeks.
The project was facilitated by Art Peace Projects in partnership with Wollongong Council and Kanahooka High School.
Extra special thanks to Wollongong Council's Carly Pascoe and Mr Brendan WIlliams - Head teacher - Kanahooka Special Education unit.
