About the Work

Step into a fantastically fecund, whimsical and delightful sculpture installation by Squeak and Bubble, who transform the detritus of modern life into a unique ‘eco system’. Journey into a world of wonder, where you can explore and discover a vast array of fantastical flora and fauna – and sometimes ‘flauna’, a spooky hybrid of the two – all made from recycled and found materials. Terra Techni-Tropicus is a colourful sculptural paradise that mirrors the fast-paced growth and the dangers that lurk in our own tropical paradise, emerging from the ground as fantastical fungi, towering totems and lush, lurid lifeforms. Watch out!

About the Artist

Squeak and Bubble are creative collaborators Kit Holloway and Nora Gigney, who create immersive colourful art installations that surprise and delight the viewer, especially at night when their glowing sculptures come to life under UV light. They collect and transform the detritus of human consumption, transforming recycled materials into fantastical sculptures that ignite the imagination.

Squeak and Bubble’s installations have featured in local galleries, and arts and music festivals, where they have delighted a diverse and inclusive audience.
