Across the Australian landscape, new life often begins in the most unexpected places. A wild seed carried on the wind settles into the earth, finding its way into rock crevices, fallen bark, or shallow soil where it takes hold.
These small acts of arrival speak to the persistence of nature and its instinct to regenerate. What begins as something fragile gradually anchors itself within the land, becoming part of a much longer story written through time.
Through excavation, layers of colour are buried and later revealed, allowing the surface of the painting to hold its own record of growth and transformation. Like the seed itself, the work emerges through a process of settling, taking root, and slowly revealing what was always waiting beneath the surface.
