About this artwork
This work explores the artist's own childhood experiences of growing up in a small country town near the Warrumbungle National Park. Sitting around campfires, riding down dirt roads and climbing trees to pick mulberries in Rachel's back yard opened her eyes to the beauty in nature. The symbolism of lace used in this work is indicative of the fragility not only found in nature but also her own feelings of being a freckly fair skinned young girl growing…
up in a harsh sunburnt country.

« Dreaming begins in the deep recesses of our childhood imagination. We just need to dig away adult logic to reveal what was there all along; creativity. »
