The Tasmaniam landscape provides a rich source of imagery from which to create an interpretation of Shakespeare’s Prospero’s Island. Prospero’s Island – South West and Prospero’s Island North East chart the narrative arc of ‘The Tempest’ from vengeance to forgiveness. The wild cliffs of Tasmanian’s south coast are brought together with the sublime stillness of the north and east coasts to explore the theme of displacement, which is central to both The Tempest and the turbulent history of Tasmania. This work was commissioned by the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for ‘Tempest’ 2016. With the support of the Australia Council.
