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). The residency was 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 'Gondwanan Biochromes' series of rainforest flora, with focus on Gondwanan lineage plants, using my biochrome process of image making, which fuses both: organic and photographic materials over several weeks. A collaboration with nature.
"Yellow Carabeen belongs to the same family as Elaeocarpus. Trees can be distinctively buttressed at the base and reach massive heights of over 50 m in the rainforest", as Dr Ray Carpenter said about Sloanea woollsii. Ray is a local paleobotanist, whose expertise in Gondwanan lineage plants and fossils were invaluable to my research.
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.
*The 4th image presents this artwork at my exhibition Floras of Gondwanan Heritage, at The Centre Beaudesert, Qld.
