The enigmatic art of the Ross Bridge, Tasmania

by Jennie Jackson

This study examines the 186 convict-carved relief sculptures on Tasmania's Ross Bridge. Utilising modern photography and archives, it reanalyses the meaning behind these subversive and satirical carvings, which depict themes of crime, punishment, and defiance.
