Oakey announced as recipient of the Hahndorf Academy exhibition for Fringe 2024

Congratulations to Oakey, who was announced as the recipient of the Hahndorf Academy exhibition for Fringe 2024.

Oakey's work 'Reverence' "honours Carrick Hill's well-loved giant gum tree and the land it stands on. The work holds space for the tree's new growth and habitat, amplifying its status as a beacon of hope in an unsettled world". Kilometres of wool have been used in this work, walked meditatively by the artist as a way of connecting with the land.

We look forward to seeing more of Oakey's work in 2024!
