Fall to land was created by Robbie Rowlands as a site-specific work at the Wright family farm. Cutting through the corrugated skin of the disused shed, Rowlands gracefully peals the exposed section to the ground creating a work that appears animated in action.

Reaching out

This work utilised a discarded wardrobe. Through a series of visits to the Charlton Men's Shed Robbie Rowlands created this work allowing the members of the shed to have first hand experience of techniques and ideas behind Robbie's creative process.

To the river

Constructed as a collaborative project with members of the Charlton community this work utilised wooden fence droppers that had been washed away by the 2011 flood. On opening night the audience was invited to select a candle and lay a path down to the work by the dried river bed.

Some still cry when it rains

Some still cry when it rains looks at both the trauma of the 2011 floods and the current drought that is affecting the region. Rowlands spent nights wondering in the dark in the dry river beds capturing spot lit images of hay suspended in trees from the floods, tangled wire and other forms. The series of images were projected on opening night onto a silo from a stack of hay bales. An accompanying sound work that utilised old car leaf springs hit together at the shed site created a bell like composition.
