Fallen Gum II

This piece is inspired by Bangalang- meaning Autumn in Wiradjuri

Bangalang is Lauren's favourite time of year, watching the colours of the leaves and tree bark change as they fall away preparing for new growth and rejuvenation. She loves seeing all the new textures and markings on the trees that are brought to the surface and the stunning designs left by the moth larvae tunneling between the layers of bark. The top, bottom and centre textured layers represent tree bark. If you look very carefully the subtle textured design running through the centre shows meeting places representing the ongoing connection between communities and country.
