"'The Keeper', or firstly known as 'The Gift' references my love of the plant and of the bush as a whole, the interaction our native animals have with all native flora and the way we value them as an entwined delicate system, filled with stories of fertility, territory, seasonal change.

It's also about the way we recognise these ancient places with our contemporary gaze, one that puts constant challenges and pressures and unrelenting demands on our precious remnant bushland, places that once gone, are unable to be easily reinvented".

The Banksia is a highly prized plant, delicate and robust at the same time, the generations of past years still present on the stems that grow the new season of blooms.

Aboriginal people use them for food, sweet treats, medicine, healing and firewood and they deeply value them for the way they supply the environment.

This plant has been a source of deep inspiration for me and where ever I have lived all thru my life, I have found myself surrounded by the bush nurturing these incredible plants.
