Artist's Statement
Rolled in gold ink and printed on Stonehenge paper this charm bracelet resembles a broken circle. A timeline of precious mementoes, a fading memory of what could soon be lost to future generations.  The threatened species highlighted on the links are the Spotted-tail Quoll, Glossy-Grass Skink, Morrisbys Gum, Forty-spotted Pardalote and the Chaostola Skipper.  Please handle with care.

Threatened Species Project
A  WILD ISLAND EXHIBITION RAISING AWARENESS OF TASMANIA'S THREATENED SPECIES

There are 683 species of plants and animals, including insects and other invertebrates, on Tasmania's Threatened Species List. Yes, there are the iconic ones so many people know about, but there are numerous species that are tiny, little known or ‘less attractive’, which are no less important to our rich and varied eco-system. This new exhibition will expand our understanding of the range & diversity of threatened species and educate of their plight. It also aims to raise much needed funds to go towards their support. It’s a small thing we can do during an age of climate change, mass species decline and habitat loss.
