UK expedition students
“I really enjoyed the journey up to Tiwi. Offroad driving through vast rugged landscape. The beach itrself is great for collecting natural forms. Shells, coraL, cuttle fish. Even a dried shark skin in its entire form. We had a great time collecting natural and manmade objects. It was quite shocking to see the amount of litter strewn across the beach. empty cans, bottles, food items, rope, boxes, flip flops and glass. It made all of us reflect on the effect mankind has on the environment, how we are constantly destroying our natural sorroundings. The art sculptures made from the found objects relected these feelings, they were very thoughtful pieces of work, in which students contemplated the meaning of progress and development and how this was effecting our world.”
