As an artist and palaeoecologist, Elizabeth explores the southern Australian landscape at different spatial and temporal scales: its history, layers and depths. Her work delves into personal experiences of the wilderness area, the concept of deep time and the human impacts on vulnerable landscapes.

Within this landscape she is especially drawn to the significance of the old, large ’venerable’ trees endemic to the area: the tingles and red-flowering gum. Their formation, thigmomorphogenesis - are touched and shaped by history and natural elements. When translated into artworks, the vibrant watercolour red hues symbolise life and vitality creating a striking juxtaposition with the grounding presence of dark charcoal inks.

DAHL FELLOWSHIP 2023
Elizabeth is a recipient of a Eucalypt Australia Dahl Fellowship 2023 for this exhibition which explores the environmental narrative of two iconic Australian eucalypt trees through art to raise awareness of the conservation issues surrounding them.

In the lead up to the exhibition a symposium was held on National Tree Day in March 2023. Insights gleaned from expert presentations helped shape the research and creative process of the project, as well as build networks and strengthen community collaborations.
