Nicholas Harding, 2014 Fire is a constant of the Australian bush. The Yuraygir scrub, a favoured motif of mine, is speckled and etched with floras' charred remains. Drawing with the charcoal of a bushfire transforms the destructive into the creative, just as fire is necessary for the bush's regrowth. This charcoal drawing depicts burnt banksia in the light of this regeneration by flame.
