Radial Ecologies is a site response to Swan River. It is an alternative approach to landscape; an attempt to close the gap with nature. Paperbark and leaves are set upon the surface of the paper, washed with watercolour, still wet. Capillary action traces the material elements of the site as they touch the paper, travelling the narrow spaces of their texture. They leave their mark, like fingerprints, as the pigment pools and dries in the friction ridges. The blackened fingers of burnt eucalypts trace their way across the surface of the paper, washed by yellow ochre.
