A little bit about my artwork, Bleeding Heart which is available for purchase through the prize:
“During the lockdown I missed access to true virgin bushland dearly. I found myself scouring vistas on our park crawls for the biodiversity that existed before colonisation. This little vignette along the Hawthorne Canal of native bleeding heart with a peek of a palm leaf and an understorey of native geranium, dianella, lomandra and scurvy weed, could, at a squint, transport me to a subtropical rainforest. A mini-holiday in our urban gaol.”
