Drawing is the foundation of my mark-making practice. My drawings are a response to the current ecological crisis, fueled by my deep desire to comprehend the scale and complexity of this super-wicked global crisis. My approach to drawing sits within the pictorial traditions of romantic landscapes and landscape painting, addressing global issues through a local lens. The once majestic Sherbrooke Falls and its surroundings were mercilessly torn apart by violent storms raging across the Dandenong Ranges in June 2021, leaving a scene of utter devastation. This fallen timber, a stark symbol of the destructive power of climate change, is also a powerful representation of our anthropocentric landscape. Witnessing severe weather events destroy old-growth forests, I face uncomfortable truths in this human-centred environment. Our actions and decisions often take precedence over the needs of the natural world, a reality that I, and perhaps you, are intimately familiar with.
