2026 - Time to Burn | Holmes a Court Gallery
Standing in Time, Holding On depicts paperbark trees rising from heath and lowland peats, set amongst distant forested uplands. Charred trunks and bare earth reveal recent fire, while subtle regrowth hints at the resilience of the landscape. Imagine standing among these silent witnesses, feeling the earth beneath your feet and sensing the quiet persistence of life returning.
These trees bare witness - carrying evidence of disturbance within their bark, roots, and the ground they stand in. Their endurance speaks to the broader story of resilience and vulnerability within our natural environment, reminding us how deeply our actions shape these living histories.
The work challenges us to consider our responsibility in shaping a future for these landscapes - places that remember every burn and every choice we make.
