While the country was burning, my home town being one of the worst-hit, I was inspired by memories of camping. I'd go camping often as a kid and have always felt that there was never anything quite like sitting around a campfire among the gumtrees, beneath the stars, toasting marshmallows; and chatting about nothing late into the night.
It was this memory and the colours I see this country in, earthy gum forest tones that inspired this painting. I wanted to create a piece that reminds us of this country's natural beauty, and the simplicity and magic that fire can bring in a non-horrific way. The campfire is a wonderful thing and just like getting back on a bike we remember 'fire', not as the enemy.
