The Space in Between : GrainCorp Silos at Sea Lake . . .

            This image is included in 2 galleries:- 1) "Favourite Landscapes" curated by MK Hardy and 2) "REALLY AMAZING IMAGES.IMAGENES REALMENTE SORPRENDENTE XXXXIIII." by Lagarto (miguelitoiglesias21).

The GrainCorp Silos at Sea Lake were painted by Joel Fergie, aka The Zookeeper and Travis Vinson, aka Drapl in October 2019.

The artwork depicts a young girl swinging from a mallee eucalyptus tree gazing out over the endless vista that is Lake Tyrrell. A powerful Wedge Tail Eagle soars (saws) above the girl and emus run off into the night. For millennia this lake has existed, unchanged and untouched. It is a place of wonder and story. In this ever increasing busy day and age, people universally long for space and solitude.

'During our research into the history of the region, we learned of the stories of the Boorong people. The stories of early indigenous astrology was recorded in 1857 by local of the Mallee, William Edward Standbridge. The Boorong were known to have more knowledge of astronomy than any other tribe. The boorong would use the stars to navigate the seasons, knowing that particular flora and fauna would be available as the constellations above changed throughout the year. After reaching out to a number of indigenous NGOʼs we were directed to a few indigenous community members with connection to the Boorong. We made contact with a local indigenous artist Robby Wirramanda who shared a few interesting stories of his ancestors. It became clear to us that these stories are deeply important stories of the Boorong. A high level of sensitivity should be taken in ensuring that these stories be told by those with connection to the Boorong and or the language group of the Wergaia. In the design, Robbyʼs wooden sculptural works are depicted in the centre of the design. Robby describes these sculptures as reprentations of his ancestors. They have been installed on the salt flats of Lake Tyrrell previously, and pay homage to his people who roamed these lands.' says Joel.

According to Annette Green, the Silo Art Movement is more than a visual spectacle; it is a dynamic force of transformation and rejuvenation. In its majestic strokes and grandeur lie the seeds of renewal for many towns and communities that once teetered on the brink of obscurity. It is not just art; it is a resurrection, a new dawn that ushers in hope, economic vitality, and social resurgence. (Australian silo Art Trail).

It was an unusually dazzlingly bright and hot autumn afternoon --- 38°C (100.4°F), and the cirrus clouds in a blue sky contrasted with the starry dark sky featured near the top of the silos.  In the left foreground is a rusty derelict harvester --- positioned there to suggest a bit of historic importance.
