From fire to flood, from gold mining to wheat
harvesting, from the horse and buggy to the motor
car and from Shillinglaw Cottage to the Eltham
Library,
Our Eltham — Artistic Recollections
is a
celebration of life in our Shire since the opening of
the Eltham Cemetery more than 150 years ago.
Depicting scenes of life in and around Eltham,
this collection offers us a deeper connection to
our area through a series of visual narratives of
our past, our environment and our community.
Historic photographs ignite an impression of what
our forefathers may have witnessed during their
lifetimes as pioneers before us, while indigenous
flowers and plants symbolically connect us to life
and nature in our local area.
The Eltham Cemetery Trust commissioned this
project as part of its ongoing vision to offer our
community a fresh and unique relationship to the
Cemetery.
Our Eltham
is a collection of panels that were
collaboratively created by artist Nerina Lascelles
and ceramicist Linda Detoma.The project was
designed and constructed by LeighWykes with
Australian stone and ironwork by Neil Carter.
All contributors to this installation are residents
of the Eltham area.
