The Wattle Heart is a contemporary piece of one of the Northern Territory’s most resilient Australian Native Plants, the Wattle.
Hiding in the depths of a Wattle is an understated beauty and strength. The Wattle is one of the first plant species to regrow after devastation paving the way for rejuvenation for its surroundings. They often need the heat or smoke from a fire to germinate their seeds.
This artwork celebrates the journey of a Wattle when impacted by bushfire, cyclone or human destruction and is representative of adaptability and courage.
