‘Scars’ was inspired by the roots of an immense ~140 year old Moreton Bay Fig tree in the town of Rutherglen, Victoria. Its condition was described as ‘very poor’ and a local guide explained that the tree was slowly dying. This painting captures my response to the tree’s twisted roots and my sadness at the decline of this old giant.
