Beacons line the coast of Moreton Bay, ensuring safe passage for thousands of water travellers, both human and aquatic. Drawing from the Maritime Safety Queensland publication of the same name, Beacon to Beacon examines the effects and influence of beacons along the coastline of South East Queensland. Through painting, sculpture, textiles and drawing, the artists of the Tidal Collective focus on the navigational tool of beacons, and how they can connect us to place and keep us safe.
The Tidal Collective is a group of South East Queensland based artists who are inspired by the ebb and flow of Moreton Bay’s tidal waterways.
