‘Shelter’ is an installation that explores the multi-layered history of habitation and use of the National Trust of Australia's Woodford Academy. History is imprinted throughout the building and is a tangible, lived experience for visitors moving through its many rooms. In a similar way, the shells of cicadas are a record of the life of the creatures that have emerged from them. Both the house and the shells are remnant dwellings that record time and the rhythm of life, past and present.

Over the three open days, the exhibition grew to include new sites throughout the house, inviting a continued conversation about change and transformation and our connection to nature.
The images shown here are from the sewing room.
