Description

"Scar Country Pattern series is a contemporary view of regrowth and weathering on Scar Trees in between Dubbo and Narromine, Wiradjuri Country.

Layers of bark removed from the tree trunk create a swirling/straight line regrowth pattern.  These stylized lines will continue to grow on the Scar Tree, sometimes the tree will create multiple layers of bark regrowth.

Using multiple layers of Ochre, sourced in the Dubbo area by my Uncle Wiradjuri Elder Peter Peckham and acrylic are applied to the canvas in a free-flowing manner to represent the layers of regrowth and rejuvenation.  By mimicking the brushstrokes with a pattern of swirling/straight line work and dots are to represent texture of wood where insects and weathering occurs on the bark."
