About the Artwork Something ancient lingers — a quiet readiness in the women, their bark more than just sound or skin, a presence felt. The tree’s bark, like theirs, carries an attitude, a language worn by time. Their skin, painted green, suggests a new growth — fresh after the shedding of old layers, embodying renewal and resilience. Possum skin skirts and digging sticks hint at cycles of care, work, and resistance. Ancestors glow softly, barely seen, but always there. The trees still have bark, but are we forgetting to hear their voices? Created digitally, starting with a single shade of green to represent new growth after shedding.
