New Growth 2022

New Growth is part of the Camouflage Species series and has been submitted to the 2023 Nillumbik Art Award.

New Growth responds to the concept of military camouflage and the covering up of plant species loss due to global warming and human disturbance of habitats. It reminds us we cannot ignore the losses occurring in front of our eyes.

New Growth is a wish for the future as a tiny, vulnerable Yellow Box eucalyptus tree reaches for the sun.
