For many years I have been working on a body of work which uses nature’s detritus, discarded banksia seedpods, sticks and fuchsia gum nuts. I describe my body of work as a retrospective exhibition, entitled ‘REGENERATION’, a metaphor for rebirth and renewal. I deconstruct this condition through my poetry and by using the sticks and seeds that drop to the earth or are washed up by the sea to become renewed. Ironically in order to find their potential, these objects must be discarded by nature before being rescued, hence the parallels to life itself.
This exhibition is now open and will run from June until August at Lindsay’s Café in the grounds of the Norman Lindsay Gallery in Faulconbridge, NSW.
