In 2024 we watched from our home as a bushfire took hold of the headland across the harbour, the orange glow of the flames moving across the peninsula in the cool evening twilight. A few weeks later, I collected ash from the site and began experimenting with it to make glazes.  Neighbours gave me clay they had dug up from their block when they were burying roadkill. These are the local materials I use to make the ceramics in these paintings; local clay in the vessels and the ash in their glazes, and all are fired in the flames of a gas kiln. The pots stand as still life landscapes, existing as sculptural installations and in paintings, some accompanied by cuttings of endemic plants, inviting us to consider their materiality and, consequently, the inherent qualities of the Kinjarling landscape contained within them.
