Discover the intricate beauty of Cradle Mountain’s ecosystems in “Forest Fragments” by Tasmanian artist Christie Lange.

An Exhibition of Exploration of Hidden Ecosystems
“Forest Fragments: Echoes of the Enchanted Walk – Cradle Mountain” by Christie Lange offers an intimate exploration of Tasmania’s hidden ecosystems.
Using ceramics, porcelain, and textiles, Lange captures the delicate and often-overlooked organisms that inhabit Cradle Mountain’s Enchanted Walk.
Through miniature sculptures of mosses, lichens, fungi, and ferns, the exhibition encourages viewers to attune their “forest eyes” to the subtle beauty and vital roles these organisms play in the forest’s health.
Each piece reflects Lange’s deep connection to the forest and her commitment to preserving these fragile environments.
Visitors are invited to pause and engage with the intricate textures, colours, and forms that make up the web of life in this remarkable landscape.
The exhibition fosters a heightened awareness of the need to protect these small yet significant organisms, urging us to appreciate and conserve the living world around us.
Experiencing Tasmania’s Unique Arts and Culture
This exhibition is for a wide range of audiences, including visitors to Cradle Mountain Wilderness Reserve, international travelers seeking to experience Tasmania’s unique arts and culture, art collectors, ceramics and textile enthusiasts, and families looking for a fun, educational experience.
