Introducing Sydney to the Wild West.

Wildflower State'Introducing Sydney to the Wild West.' The work concerns the magnificent Banksia trees of Western Australia and a specific tree on my property. W.A. is the main centre of biodiversity for the Banksia with over 90% of Australia's Banksias occurring here. They provide habitat to an array of animals and insects and this habitat is fast disappearing due to land clearing and disease.

I acknowledge Sydney Parkinson with the use one of his illustrations in these works. The colours of cotton thread were selected to represent the variety of colour seen in the Banksia's of Western Australia.

This work has been collected by the Holmes a Court Gallery.
