Elaine Clocherty

Courtesy of the Artist

As a site specific artist, Elaine Clocherty often works directly in the landscape, using found local natural materials whilst following intuition to genuinely collaborate with the land and allowing the stories and characteristics of a place to directly inform the work.

Over the past ten years, Aboriginal Australian Dwardinan Nan Viv Brockman Webb, Aboriginal Australian artist Waljin Mitchella Hutchins and Scottish/Australian Land Artist, Elaine Clocherty have collaborated on over 20 works together, spanning festivals, public art, and community engagement projects. This cross cultural collaboration, combines thousands of years of Wardandi bora ceremonial sand artwork and contemporary Ephemeral Site Specific Land Art, strengthening communities to connect with each other and become caretakers of our boodja (Earth). Their next project, Awakening, takes place from 29 – 31 July 2026 at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
