Pipe Clay Lagoon

When I found Pipe Clay Lagoon on Google Earth I thought it was a lagoon full of pipe clays. When I zoomed in and looked around, I found a boat. Ah, it’s an oyster farm!

Pipe Clay Lagoon is a small area of sea water which is almost entirely surrounded by land, just south east of Hobart. Tassie is renowned for its fresh seafood and our oysters are no exception.

This area appealed to me as the break in symmetry and flow of water through the oyster ‘paddocks’. A simple yet striking piece.

SIZE: A3 (29.7 x 42cm)

MATERIALS: Acrylic on watercolour cotton paper.

HANDMADE: All artworks have been adapted from a Google Earth* view, and designed in an abstract way which creates a special piece of art, a time in place where maybe it doesn’t exist in a few years time, therefore documenting history through art. All artworks have the longitude and latitude included, and you will therefore see the coordinates on each artwork. This means you can put those coordinates into Google Earth and see the location for yourself and how I have adapted it.

CARE: All artwork is unframed. If purchasing a paper artwork, it is recommended you insert your artwork into a suitable frame with matting surrounding the painting.  

COORDINATES: 42o58'00"S 147o31'20”E
