Travelling along the country road, something sticks out as clear as day, but you’ll never know it until the sun sets and it begins to glow. Watching from the roadside, ‘A Haunting’ is the flickering of an abandoned house; the work of artist Tracey Moffatt.
The latest art installation in the region, just outside Armatree, is one of the most mysterious the Western Plains has seen so far.
Western Plains Cultural Centre Curator Kent Buchanon said that the two likely go hand in hand.
“It’s the most unique artwork in landscape in Australia really. It’s something you can only view at certain hours of the night, and it’s something that you can’t go right up to, it is about stopping on the side of the road,” Mr Buchanon said.
