Beneath the sticks lays a barren landscape, still warm, and crumbling beneath me.

​

The bushfire season leaves its mark on the outskirts of Geeveston, Tasmania.

​

Fallen branches cover the ground, the ashy earth crumbles before me. The land is left desolate, fragile, and held witness to its own collapse.

​

Marks are drawn, scanned and layered, revealing the ruin and vulnerability of the landscape, and its endurance throughout a constant state of flux.
