This image celebrates the persistence of life in the forests of the Blue Mountains, Australia as the area continues to recover from fire damage. The ecology of the site is explored through the nature-culture-human intersection, as identified by pioneer multimedia performance artist Joan Jonas. When discussing the role of the elements in one of her early moving image works, Wind (1968) Jonas stated that, “the wind takes on a character.” Equally, the landscape and the elemental others of the Blue Mountains ranges can be viewed as collaborators. Natural phenomena, the site and human creative practice are seen as one.
