Notes on the original artwork, 'Dressed in Pines':
It interests me to view apparently placid landscapes that have undergone dynamic change. Gold was found in Black Hill (Bowdun), Ballarat in 1845, and for years afterward the place was fiercely plundered until all signs of life were stripped away and the hill itself was ground down. Later on, raw and bare, it was dressed in new trees by children and adults from the city. This artwork is inspired by one of its rock gullies, natural or not, where nature is still attempting regeneration. The work includes the use of pigments from the oxidised sandstone cliffs created by the mining process.
