Gondwana
Once connected to Gondwana, the roots and origins of Australia’s native vegetation can be seen in specimens of ancient fossilised plant, tree forms and remnant forest. Weathered and partially eroded rock sediments containing these fossils inspired and informed works, in imagery, surface and structure, their particular visual language imbues distinctive character. Exploring analogies in creating multiple layered woven textiles from sediment and fossil layers, this was the first, original series of works achieved on the unique shaft loom and is revisited occasionally to develop new series.
