Jennifer Redmond

‘I stand, surrounded and protected, hiding from view.
The armour slips, soft beauty in light mist. I am exposed.’

As order comes from chaos, the Icons of the harsh Australian landscape recover and there is a rebirth in nature. The veneer of the superficial charm has gone but through the timelessness of this ancient land it will regenerate. The vulnerability of such iconic land gives concern, and this is something we must protect.
