‘Iron Barks Amongst the Granite’
Dja Dja Wurrung
Gidja Walker
ink and acrylic on paper
70 x 50cm, 87 x 70cm framed
This place Guruya has an elemental stone/metal feel… a hardness.
It is reflected in the trees growing amongst these rocks.
Even the Ironbarks botanical name: Eucalyptus sideroxylon – sider = iron, xylon = wood
And the granite rocks. Formed millions of years ago from molten magma, kilometres under the ground. Taking hundreds of years to cool and crystallise.
Then all that ground above it washed and blown away. To expose the rocks we now see. To create niches for these Ironbarks and Lightwoods to nestle amongst.
On the weeping grass lawn.
