Shelter
Victorian Timber Workers Memorial

Collaboration with Holly Grace

Supported by the community of Heyfield
the Victorian State Government &
Wellington Shire Coucil

The Victorian Timber Workers Memorial responds to the hardships, triumphs, mateship and camaraderie within the timber community. Through visual storytelling using abstracted historical and contemporary images of mills, coups, logging trucks and the Victorian bush a ‘shelter’ of steel and timber will emerge.

This shelter, reminiscent of a traditional mountain hut, acts as a symbol of protection and survival. It creates a retreat for contemplation and reflection, filtering the outside world through a natural canopy that entwines with the life of a hard working timber worker.
