Midden is the overarching title of this project, which consists of a number of installments, to include new artworks series, collaborative works and curated exhibitions. The intention has been to use the concept of the midden as a metaphor for collecting stories and a series of works exploring our beloved sea life, full of potential for sustenance and healing. For the newly curated exhibitions exhibition, others have personally been invited to contribute because  we can each provide insider perspectives into our communities, and collectively we can make a powerful case towards the benefits of effective coastal management to ensure for the next generations, which is urgently overdue, particularly with the Great Barrier Reef.  The aim of the project is to creatively enhance, reframe, re-mix and disrupt forms of storytelling to create informative art experiences and new ways of working for engaged audiences.
