"Scar tree lines series is a contemporary view of regrowth lines from a Scar Tree in between Dubbo and Narromine, Wiradjuri Country.
Scar Trees leave an outline of a coolamon, shield or a canoe. My inspiration comes from a canoe tree.
Layers of bark removed from the tree trunk create a swirling/straight line regrowth pattern. These stylized lines will continue to grow on the Scar Tree, sometimes the tree will create multiple layers of bark regrowth.
Colourful dots have been added on top of all lines. These colours are Australian inspired colours of the landscape. They represent all the native flora and fauna you would see around the trees. "
