‘Skin’ celebrates 40 years of artist and musician Garry Greenwood’s highly skilled craftsmanship and extraordinary fantasy-themed leather works. Greenwood’s standard for design execution and creative direction shines in his leather-worked creations, which includes theatrical costumes, free-standing sculptures, masks, puppets, wall hangings, and musical instruments inspired by traditional horns, harps and lyres, as well as his own inventions such as the Tasmanian Mountain Harp. Greenwood’s unique designs featured in TasDance’s production ‘Skin Deep’, and on the international stage in Switzerland and Germany.
