Ancient Eucalyptus Farewell!

This ancient Eucalyptus Viminalis was sitting on the hill behind my home. it was 22 armfuls round and probably 800 years old. It is not there now, removed by farmer 8 years ago, sadly. I have done several art works about this Ancient Tree. It has inspired me to dream about our past and future. My photo of the tree was worked with in Photoshop to create the feeling of Climate Change and the precarious position this Ancient tree is in and our own survival of this Earth.

‘The work I am developing at university (M.F.A.D.) challenges me to use recycled float glass and fusing‚ slumping and moulding it in a way to express the beauty and loss of our native forests of Tasmania’.
