The wet west, this place feels endless, ancient, wild.

The forest feels alive, even in death, this stump was nurturing the earth.

Moss covered the base of this tree and almost all others in this region. The consistant wet weather made it quite difficult to print, uncovering this tree left me with mixed emotions, because of the constant wet weather, this tree was degrading fast, it was impossible to capture a relatively perfect print.

What did strike me was the similarities between the fractured lines and rotten sections of this tree and the overall landscape of the Tarkine region. Decimated by logging and mining, what should be a sanctuary and a National park and world heritage listed area, instead there are an abundance of active mining leases and future logging coups.

This is an important work for me, the guiding principle behind my work is to help protect the environment through an arts practice, this work represents the imminent threat to the natural work and our duty to protect it.
