Banksias
Growing up, I have always been surrounded by Australia's natural environment. The Banksia is one aspect of this beautiful environment that has caught my attention. The Swamp Banksia/ Banksia Paludosa in particular, with its iconic jagged leaves has caught my special attention.
The use of wire within this series (similarly to my other collections) conveys the fragility of the natural environment. The gold plating on some of the pieces portray the preciousness of the Australian environment and how important it is to maintain it so that we can continue to enjoy the beautiful treasures it has to offer.
