Acacia concurrens… anaesthetic… Ed. 4 of 5

This image of Acacia concurrens is from my ‘Medicinal Plant Cycles’ series that I created by fusion of organic and photographic materials, a process I call the biochrome. Through this series, I hope to reveal a beauty in decomposition and raise notions of transformative life cycles.
The work draws on natural science and extensive consultations and discussions with members of the Quandamooka community of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island).
