Ten colour lithograph
h: 39 w: 30 d: 1 (cms).
This lithograph is part of a series where I explored the idea of not printing editions but rather printing a series of prints to tell a continual story of the Australian Black Summer extreme fires of 2020. I had experienced the bush fires second-hand through my friends, whilst in wintery Wales. Returning to Australia, after the fires, I drove along the back roads cutting through the Wadbilliga National Park from Dalgety to Carbargo trying to reach the east coast to see my friends and mother (who had been unable to leave her care home whilst the fires raged). Seeing the destruction seared into my brain and then my yearly visits showed the countryside slowly regrowing. By experimenting with colour – working through the greens, blues and browns of a healthy forest to the oranges of the fires, to the black that remains once all the colours have burnt away and then the slow regeneration of new growth, I explored the emotions of seeing a place I loved totally destroyed and regrown.
