These works have been created out of frequent visits to the North West of Australia, predominantly on Bunyjima, Yinhawangka and Wangkamaya country, as well as other costal pilbara sites near Karratha, Port Hedland, and Marble Bar. The pieces were created by employing technical drawing and graphing techniques used for industrial geological surveying of Precambrian terrains. The artworks have then been painted with fire and acrylic along with ochre gifted to the artist by traditional landowners from these areas as an acknowledgement of their custodianship and to extend a three way dialogue between the geological, cultural and economic values of land .
