in 2024-25 Western Australia sweltered through its hottest summer on record, causing 3 exrtreme heatwaves, countless bush fires and a 20% below average rainfall. The loss of forests and shrublands was distressing to witness. These changes to the structure and composition of our habitat will have a flow on effect for our wildlife as climate change sets a trend of more extreme weather patterns into the future.
The use of Red iron oxide, burnt sienna, Alzarin crimson and black symboliz our natural environment in peril, but the tiny touches of gold leaf speak of hope for the future.
