FELLR PRESENTS A LAND OF FIZZ

Returning to the land that inspired FELLR, with the Worimi Land Council's blessing, we invited artist ELLIOTT ROUTLEDGE and photographer MATT CHERUBINO to the Worimi Conservation Lands. We asked them to find their fizz and create a new work inspired by the unfamiliar environment.
Captured by SAM BRUMBY,  the pair traversed the largest living sand dunes in the southern hemisphere, tuning into the ever-changing patterns of the weather, the land and the light. Exploring the interactive relationship between the sculpture and its environment, Elliott and Matt moved the artwork to different locations to find contrast and harmony against Worimi's sand, sky and waterholes.
Inspired by a LAND OF FIZZ, this is their journey.
 
 

MEET THE ARTISTS

ELLIOTT ROUTLEDGE

Elliott Routledge, born in Tokyo, Japan, is a contemporary abstract artist living and working out of Sydney. He is known for his public art installations around Australia and throughout parts of the world. His work exists in a balance between expressive mark making, abstract form and small to large scale sculpture. 
Routledge presents paintings and sculptural pieces which are influenced by his exterior outdoor public practice, which go from small intimate works to large scale canvas paintings that demand attention and react to the architecture that surrounds. It’s within this process of painting facades where the correlation to people and their own facades becomes apparent. Routledge takes visual data from experience, feeling, or physical objects and rearranges them into abstract portraits of what could make up a person. 

MATT CHERUBINO

 Matt Cherubino is a commercial photographer with an eye for striking imagery. Based in Melbourne but rarely home, Matt’s photography reflects a genuine approach to storytelling.
Matt grew up in suburban Melbourne, but it was the rugged coastline and wilderness of rural Victoria that sparked Matt’s creativity. A camera complimented his love of open spaces perfectly, and by the time he finished school Matt was brave enough to forgo the seemingly obligatory tertiary education/apprenticeship slipstream, and manifest his own photographic trajectory. Half a decade, half the globe traversed and numerous prestigious clients later, Matt continues to push his work, both commercially and personally, to new heights.
