Bethany Fellows (Art Forum)
No full textBethany J Fellows, was born in Tucson, Arizona and lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.
She graduated with a BFA from the University of Newcastle (2004) and recently completed her honours at Monash University (2010). Her practice is often participatory and usually cited in public and non-traditional space.
Gift giving is used in her arts practice to emphasise the importance of relationships with people and place, as a cultural critique and as a metaphorical device for various things. Her work involves fleeting exchanges with others and frequently employs humour and food to highlight and exploit the tension of hospitable interactions with people and the unknown. She will be discussing her evolving practice and her often obsessive and bizarre interest
Wood-inhabiting macrofungal assemblages in 43-year-old regenerating wet Eucalyptus Obliqua L'Her.Forest
No full textThis study focuses on the diversity and ecology of wood-inhabiting macrofungal species assemblages in a regenerating tall, wet, native Eucalyptus obliqua forest in southeast Tasmania, 43 years after natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Two plots subjected to "clearfell, burn and sow" silviculture were compared with two other nearby plots that had experienced wildfire. A total of 90 species was identified from 619 macro fungal records during six fortnightly visits between May and July 2010. The plots with abundant live Pomaderris ape tala trees in the understorey (i.e., those at Edwards Rd) had markedly different macrofungal assemblages from those with no or with sparse Pomaderris apetala (i.e., at Hartz Rd). This study provided evidence that a 43-year-old regenerating forest maintains a core of common wood-inhabiting macrofungal species irrespective of type of disturbance. Furthermore, species most frequently observed in older forests in Tasmania can also occur in younger managed forests if biological legacies such as large diameter wood, well-decayed wood, large living trees and a diversity of tree species remain after silvicultural treatment
Grasping the nettle : the Tasmanian geological survey's work on landslides, 1971-1988
Get PDFThe state of Tasmania had suffered from its foundation from landslides. A policy of limited compensation for property loss had been established in the 1960s as insurance was not available but landslide damage had continued and the compensatory policy had to be abandoned. The Tasmanian Geological Survey worked on this problem mainly in Northern Tasmania and devised a system of advisory zone maps to control building development, followed by legislative controls. Some comments are made on the social impact of these measures. The period from 1971 to 1988 is described as being the main period of innovation. A selection of the originating reports is referenced, and a site for the whole corpus is given
