“Resilience”
A work celebrating the incredible resilience of the Aussie bush bursting to life after we think all is lost to bushfire!
Bright green, fresh& thick regrowth unfurling never fails to give me an incredible sense of awe & wonder in this creation we are so blessed to call home and most gratefully share alongside one another!
This work is at the City of Armadale Town Hall during the Armadale Arts Festival 2024
