Additional Information

Scar Country Patterns Series
by Cara Shields – is a contemporary view of regrowth lines from a Scar Tree in between Dubbo and Narromine, Wiradjuri Country.

Layers of bark removed from the tree trunk create a swirling/straight line regrowth pattern.  These stylized lines will continue to grow on the Scar Tree, sometimes the tree will create multiple layers of bark regrowth.  Scar Trees leave an outline of a coolamon, shield or a canoe.  My inspiration is from a canoe tree. Using multiple layers of Ochre, sourced in the Dubbo area by my Uncle Wiradjuri Elder Peter Peckham and acrylic are applied to the canvas in a free-flowing manner to represent the layers of regrowth and rejuvenation.  By mimicking the brushstrokes with a pattern of swirling/straight line work and dots are to represent texture of wood where insects and weathering occurs on the bark.
