"The Chaos of Ogmograptis scribula at 150o15IN to 34o45IS" 4 of 16
This painting explores the relationship between order and chaos in nature; that from the chaotic markings of the moth Ogmographtis scribula a certain order is revealed. These apparently random markings on the bark of select Eucalypts produce a glimpse into the written tracks of a life which I am endeavouring to comprehend.The maps are an integral part of the background and symbolise both natural and human patterns in life. These contours on topographic maps are only significant to humans but mimic the chaotic rendering on a Scribbly gum, when viewed in the multiple contexts of the Australian bush.
