my backyard

Finding connection to land through memories brought me to the suburban backyard - to have access to this art space to play as a kid would be a dream, cricket or footy, plenty of CATCHment - it's not art though! The mower is part of this landscape. We came to play but were sent off!
Sometimes we believe 'we are in nature' but actually much of Australia is big, spread, suburbia - supported by cars and ride-on mowers and challenged by fire and flood. The 'bush' is now often a connected series of managed my backyards.
