Exploring the fragility of our landscape, this mural delves into the romanticism around darkness. Eucalyptus burns and feral cat skulls lie. Monarchs and a common kingfisher are also foreign, yet here they’re unaffected by the scrub burning below.
A mural about invasion, about climate, and about painting.
