Astral Arbor is part interactive art installation and part a reflective chill space for people to rest in, eat, relax, talk or sleep. A getaway from all the “normal” craziness that surrounds the Aussie Burn. Primarily a steel sculpture delicately wrapped in fabric it sits at 4+ meters high and 7 met...

And it all finally came together.
After around 9 months of hard work by a whole group of amazing people Astral Arbor was finally displayed in its completed form.
Thank you Rainbow Serpent for having us and allowing us to display our creation.

We hope you enjoyed experiencing it as much as it nearly killed us making it.

Here are a few shots of the installation at Rainbow

By day, it was a shady luscious chill space. By night, the Astral Arbor was a striking feature in the landscape. Thanks for having us The Pleasure Garden 2016, your festival was an absolute delight. Check out our new webpage for some event photos!

The leaves for the Astral Arbor have taken a few adventures recently in a chandelier form, thanks for hosting us in the main room MelBurn DeepCompression: Burning Seed Decompression 2016 and Plan B. Here are a few pics of 1/4 of our installation.

Soon we take the whole tree including branches, a core and lush cushions to make a 3.5 x 7 metre installation to The Pleasure Garden 2016 and then Rainbow Serpent Festival!
