Tidal Zone is an exhibition of contemporary furniture from Tasmanian furniture designers and makers.
On an island the tidal zone, the space where the land and sea meet, 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.
Members of the furniture designers association have created a wide range of exciting and innovative objects from sculptural to practical, but all exploring the space on the edge of this island. Recycled materials, natural materials and unusual combinations all appear in the pieces in the exhibition.
Including work of nationally- prominent designers such as Patrick Hall, Kevin Perkins, Pippa Dickson and John Smith, as well as work from emerging designers.
Curators: Dr Astrid Wootton and Linda Fredheim
