2011 — ongoing (excerpt)

According to predictions measuring the effects of global warming, Australia counts among one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. Increasingly extreme weather conditions are impacting destructively on environment, biodiversity, infrastructure and community.

During the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires great damage was caused at ‘Lake Mountain’, on Taungurung Country, changing it forever. Continuing my engagement with ecological imaginaries and non-human/human entanglements, this is a decade-long site-specific work with a forest re-growing from injury, a mountain who owns my heart, and climate change. It is a work in a wounded living world, pleading to change our violent ways.
