In 2022 Binna Burra Lodge invited me to create my signature biochrome images on the Binna Burra Cultural Landscape, as the inaugural Artist-in-Residence (AiR) in the legacy of Vida Lahey, a prominent Queensland artist and educator (1882 – 1968), and I was greatly honoured to receive this opportunity. During this time I got to work with Dr Ray Carpenter, a local paleobotanist, who enriched my research and help me locate Gondwanan plants on Binna Burra land.

I created this work during the residency as part of my 'Gondwanan Biochromes' series of rainforest flora, with focus on Gondwanan lineage plants, including this Rose-leaf Marara. Ray said that it is a "member of the strongly Southern Hemisphere family Cunoniaceae, this species has very close relatives in New Zealand and Patagonia".

Located on the Yugambeh language groups’ country, in the World Heritage area of Woonoongoora / Lamington National Park in Queensland - Binna Burra allows visitors to experience unique flora, of which ancestral lineages go back to Gondwanaland millions of years ago.
