This work evolved out of my return to Glenorie studio. It became a metaphor for a way of picking up old threads and reinserting myself in the bushland I had left over 30 years before. A small corridor of tea trees on a flat area just beyond my studio, (used as a track by local wildlife on their way up from the creek) presented a place to begin. A big tin of orange ash saved from the wood stove in the house all those years before, became a zigzag line on the ground of orange gold, making both a visual and psychological connection to the land I had returned to.
Over the following days of late afternoon light the line glowed like the colour of the surrounding grey gums when they lose their bark. The line began to gradually soften and fade, as it began to disappear and merge once again with the earth.
