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.

I created this work during the residency as part of my series of rainforest flora, with focus on Gondwanan lineage plants. This Staghorn fern is a rainforest, but not a Gondwanan plant.

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.

This artwork was first exhibited at Binna Burra Pottery Shed courtyard, in December 2022, as pictured in image #3.
