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 that time I got to work with Dr Ray Carpenter, a local paleobotanist.

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 Turnipwood. Ray said: "Akania is now only found in the Gondwana Rainforests of eastern Australia, but there is fossil evidence from elsewhere, including 52 million year old leaves from 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.
