copyright the artistCool Fires are arguably Aboriginal Australia’s greatest gift to our earth’s land management practice. Again it is the patterning brought about by these fires that make them fascinating from an environmental and aesthetic perspective; Tiernan celebrates this in her mosaic series of paintings.
Abundance takes the idea of consciously placed trees and transfers it to the kangaroo because through controlled burning the Aborigines could manipulate the movement of kangaroo herds to facilitate hunting.
