Ellie Hannon & Peter Parslow
Multidisciplinary artists Ellie Hannon and Peter Parslow are an artist couple who live and work in Muloobinba/Newcastle on the unceded lands of the Awabakal and Worimi people. Working collaboratively across installation and community‑based projects, they are best known for co‑founding, alongside others, the Art‑Raft collective for the Newcastle People’s Blockade. Combined, their practice is grounded in challenging and transforming how we understand and engage with our environments and communities. Central to their work is building playful structures that envision more positive future narratives, with a commitment to climate justice, community engagement that supports self‑determination, and the collaborative regeneration of place.

In the post-industrial landscape of Kandos, the rail corridor between the cement factory and town has become an untamed environment where native and pioneering plants take root.
