ARTIST STATEMENT The Narrow Neck Plateau field studies are an investigative print journal of blue reflective light gradually returning to the Blue Mountains after the Black Summer bushfires. Charred gum leaves meant that eucalypt oils were not emitted; the blue hues which create a spectacular sensation from plateau to valley views, disappeared until the bush began considerable regeneration. My print palette was white and grey for a while there; fragile ash soils without vegetation. The beautiful forms of the sandstone and ironstone plateau were exposed and accessible for drawing, before vegetation regenerated giving colour and shape to the landscape. The walk to Castle Head was accessible and became my regular during the pandemic - for plants, for the sunrise and the sunset; an immersive place to see weather drift by. It was sitting here a few months back, that I first realised the blue had returned. There had been enough regrowth for Eucalyptus oils released by the afternoon sun to drench the view to Yerranderrie with a hypnotic blue, an important marker for recovery, and once again an energised print palette. This selection of silkscreen and cyanotype prints are a glimpse of the beautiful geology and plantlife found on the Narrowneck Plateau, soaked in first light, summer fog, autumn mist, afternoon light and twilight, through out the recovery stages of the last two years.
