Recycled Metal Gates

Recycled Metal Gates

My gate is designed to show the destruction that is happening to the Tasmanian blue gum, Eucalyptus globulus. The leaves are made out of recycled rusty forty four gallon drums and other mesh metals, showing the skeletal form of the leaf disease that is attacking our native forest in Tasmania. There are two worms, one on the other side of the leaf-gate and one on the handle. This worm that is eating the leaves leaving just a skeletal pattern of veins is eating our Tasmanian blue gum trees which are dieing from the insect pests that thrive in the cloned mono-culture plantation trees, ‘Eucalyptus nitons’ grown for Japanese news papers.
You can see the plantation trees in the distance. They are taking over the Tasmanian landscape, causing blue green algea in the waters downstream from herb-aside and fertilizer spray. Forest Industries are responsible for the degridation of Tasmanian forest diversity and river systems. The Tasmanian Government has spent millions of dollars to get the contract for the pulp but has not yet found anyone to fund the ‘pulp mill’ which is situated at Beauty point, on the Tamar River.
Please write to the Tasmanian Government and stop this Gondwanaland destruction.
