$ On Inquiry
Mosaic Land's abstracted designs are inspired by centuries of Indigenous land and fire management practices. Through their intimate knowledge of seasonal patterns and flora and fauna habitats, the fire was used to shape niche ecologies. Achieved via a ‘mosaic’ of patch-firing Aboriginals were able to control fires and stimulate the growth of diverse species. This ensured a sustainable cycle of habitat, food, and biodiversity, whilst minimizing the risk of large-scale fire devastation. Emphasizing this approach, the artwork of ‘Mosaic Land 1 & 2’ features layering, differing color tones, and contemporary fabrication techniques with depictions of diverse local flora, to capture the breadth of traditional knowledge, fire management, and care of the country.
