historical and place artworks
This range of artworks are heavily underpinned by Olive's previous study and work as a Landscape Architect.
The works are each focused on a particular place - both local and external places - and are the result of extensive research into the site history, Indigenous connection, natural and cultural significance and community involvement.
In some projects, Olive worked with local communities and local library history collections to gather information for creating the artworks.
