Melaleuca Ericifolia
The photographs produced in this series were made during an artist residency supported by the Tasmania Land Conservancy at Eagle Rock Reserve, Marrawah.
‘Immersed in the presence of Melaleuca ericifolia, a ubiquitous plant found throughout the reserve and the NW coast, I discovered abstract branches that sprawl in every direction. These dried limbs echoed the frantic nature of my mind, forging a profound connection between their eerie beauty and my existence. Stones lay scattered amongst the coastline, carved by wild elements over thousands of years; their intricate textures and patterns, scars of their past, visible traces of history and a humbling reminder of my own fragility.’
