Gabrielle and David Hashimoto’s latest site specific installation, The Silent Spirals, is on show at the Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability in Waverton over March 2017. Their work is part of the North Sydney Art Prize, a stunning sculpture prize curated by Alison Clarke along the foreshore of Sydney harbour. The Silent Spirals act as reminders of the ever-present threat of mining to our planet’s natural resources and environment. When activated by wind, they generate a motion reminiscent of industrial drills, their translucent forms pointing to memories of extinct plant species and the secrecy often associated with multi-national mining companies.
