Work Table

This month I started working at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt.Coot-tha as the Artist in Residence for 2009. Works during the year will be focused on the Australian Plant Communities area, comprising nine different rainforest ecosystems. Works are beginning with a series of drawings on paper responding to observations and studies of diversity in the canopy environments.

I took this photo of my portable work table whilst packing up at the end of a day at the gardens. I was attracted to the 'accidental' marks left on the cover sheet from a day of activity. The feathers were collected from an open grass area in the morning.
