Troy Ruffels - Stone Tides Weeping Trees

The Off Season

Stone Tides Weeping Trees - is a visual and poetic meditation on the Miena Cider Gums of Tasmania's central highland plateau. These eucalypts, resilient yet vulnerable, occupy a singular place in the Tasmanian psyche, enduring one of the most remote and unforgiving landscapes in Australia. In their trunks and hollows, they stand as archivists of weather and memory, holding the story of a land shaped by wind, frost, drought and fire. Troy Ruffels' work is characterised by its subtly intertwined layers, where observations of the natural landscape are overlain in a richly textured palimpsest. Marked by hand and eye, these landscapes are simultaneously interior and exterior. They emerge from a deep familiarity with place, revisited as both inhabitant and traveller, a perspective informed by Ruffels' anchoring within the North West of Tasmania and his movements around the island. Each work bears the intensity of a specific location and moment while resonating with wider connections and concerns: we glimpse a luminous world where the visible surface is invested with the halo of the unseen.
