Banksia Pod, watercolour, ink and conte charcoal on 300gsm watercolour paper, 150 by 114cm, 2015 This artwork was made for MContemporary’s exhibition “Mythology of My Land”, an exhibition “examining the the religious and cultural traditions of ones own land through myths, stories and creation.” In harmony with the theme of the exhibition I created “Banksia Pod” as a testament and expression to the mythological nature of australian bushfires. The bright orange and charcoal black colours parrallel the sublime dance of life and death that is born out of bushfires. When asked to make a work relating to the mythologies I see in my land it was immediately evident to me to draw upon the surreal effects that the bushfire has had in the Blue Mountains where I live following the tragic impact that the October 2013 bushfires had on the Blue Mountains community.
