Shelter in Place, Black Summer Bushfires, 2020
What do you do when your home is on fire?
You grieve.
Then you draw, carve a lino plate, make an etching.
Draw on your experience, find connections and seek solace in the patterns in nature.
Document the beauty of fragility and resilience.
So people notice the little things, the burnt offerings and fire tides.
