Marooned
2019 Moving image/video single channel MP4 No. 1 in edition of 7 07:00 minutes Created atop an extinct volcano in response to the Mt Kaputar Snail and Slug Threatened Ecological Community. Hyper-coloured vignettes pay homage to the most notable creature, a giant pink slug, the only element in the moving image work left in its natural colour. In 2019 massive bushfires roared across the mountain, decimating the habitat; great fears were held for the ecological community. However, during later rains numerous pink slugs were recorded.

2020
Pencil and watercolour on Stonehenge 250gsm paper
95 x 62cm unframed / 120 x 80cm framed
'Extinction Game - Red-Crowned Parakeet’ reimagines a historical portrait of an extinct Australian bird. This parrot was endemic to Lord Howe and is extinct since 1870.
The black and white chess board may refer to a game, to burnt and unburnt, to race, to colonial floorcloths, to finance (the French escheker), to ‘checkered’ alternations of good and bad.
