New Zealand sculptor and practitioner of large-scale land art Chris Booth has completed his latest installation – one that pays tribute to the land on which we walk.
With large art installations throughout Australia, his home country of New Zealand, and around the world, Chris is proud of the Meditations installation at Eumundi’s Moon Mountain Sanctuary.
Commissioned by Ron and Lyn Scott, the work continues the artists philosophy of understanding the land, the energy from landmarks such as Cooroy Mountain that sits in the background, and the importance to indigenous people.
Meditations has been created out of rocks from the wider Noosa-Cooloola region, something that Booth insists upon rather than imported materials.
The work will be a highlight of the 2025 Open House Sunshine Coast program in October in which buildings and houses throughout the region are opened to the public.
This is part of a world-wide initiative by architects to understand the importance of good design, functionality and character.
A popular segment of the Open House program is a panel discussion at Coolum on what constitutes a home – what it means to different people, bearing in mind location, environment, social needs.
