Misuse and misrule
This long view of the land is built on earth stains and bees wax. It suggests divisions created by use/misuse, passages of fertility and aridity due to practices like broad scale land clearing and unsustainable agriculture. The work is based on several field trips to Fowlers Gap, a university research station near Broken Hill. I grew up on the Darling Downs, on some of the most fertile soils in the world. The work is currently hung in the 5th International Open Submission Pri
