Spark. Cinder. Seed.

Bushfires are a force of nature, to which the Australian environment and its people have become attune. Seemingly negative in its destructiveness, fire purges the landscape and leaves it charred and barren. But within a short time, this same landscape comes back to life, blanketed with new growth and attracting even greater biodiversity.
Bushland communities grow in resilience and capacity. However, like the scorch marks on the blackened trees, the lives of many are scared by their experiences.
Spark. Cinder. Seed. is a photographic exploration of the notion and effect of bushfires on the Bushland Shire’s landscape and people. The exhibition is a partnership between emerging artists, Eliza Kinchington, Aaron Simpson, Natasha Killeen, Alexandra Charles and Hornsby Shire Council.
