The re-presentation of these historical moments is also informed by imagined, alternative visions of what the term shelter can represent. In its most essential form, shelter is depicted as a triangle \u2013 an icon of sanctuary and dwelling. The triangle motif is employed throughout the work as a talisman to conjure concepts of protection, survival and home \u2013 but it is also the essential geometric building block of geodesic domes, tent structures, gabled walls, pitched roofs and signal flags. In this exhibition, the triangle is both form and metaphor. The aim of this work is\u00a0to\u00a0glimpse into local histories while discovering the imaginative potential of digging deeply into this past, and closely examining our relationship with place.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beautiful.
