Bushtrack
#1 915cm x 1240cm Mixed media on canvas 2009
There was a track in the heathland part of
the bush near us that was composed of this fine white powdery dust. We never
really thought about why it was so different to the other fire trails we
walked, but then we were kids and more interested in animals and wildflowers. I
wanted to celebrate this track which has come back to me as an adult as a wonderful
memory of the bush. This painting is now overlooking Darling Harbour, which
seems strange but nice to think of a bit of bush in there.
gasp! wow!

the boys & girls move closer

the CFA trucks tracking up
to put fire under control again.
A FIRE TRAIL
ReplyDeleteA vertical beach, this track
or a spinning falls of quartz
how odd to be paired with fire
when sparks leap tree to tree
the boys & girls move closer
in their flame-proof cozzies
the CFA trucks shudder up
needs big revolutions per minute
to put fire under control again.
Lovely Rob, the spinning quartz is definitely there...
