Burn (2015)
|
This triptych speaks to differences between traditional and post-colonial views of Australia's perennial bushfires. Pre-colonisation, fire was seem as something that could be managed through periodic burnoff, necessary to promote new growth, and also useful for trapping animals for food. Later, with fixed buildings in the fire paths, fire would be seen as something to be avoided at all costs.
