The images shown in Broken Hill were part of the site responsive project called Desert Equinox 10, curated by Alan Giddy, involving 26 artists.

The original prints were made in Glasgow, using ink created by mixing rusty machine parts harvested in Broken Hill – with oak galls from an oak tree in my garden. By bringing together these contrasting and active elements from opposite sides of the Earth, I attempted to bridge the gap between 'here and there', between nature and culture, between past and present. Rather than depicting nature, I try to visualise environment.

The creative process involved collaboration with what Jane Bennett calls the ‘vital power’ of these highly symbolic materials. The oak gall ink was transformed into a series of images on paper through klecksography (inkblots). Scanned and transferred onto fabric as digital prints, these were presented back into the public realm in a regeneration zone in Broken Hill as a form of temporary memorial evoking past, present and future environmental loss.
