Description
This drawing is a homage to the vulnerable and innocent. It’s a very delicate hand-drawn artwork, to highlight the fragility and natural beauty of native flora, that are endangered with only a few left in existence. The plant is the Zieria ingramii and s classified as an endangered plant found only on the outskirts of Dubbo, and hasn’t been seen there since 2014. It’s a spindly small shrub with small white to pinkish flowers. I used shadows and layers, to represent the plants’ heightened vulnerability on the verge of extinction, its shadows that could be lost upon our landscapes. We can get so much joy from nature, and if we care for local natives, keep the weeds at bay, nature will reward us with birdlife, insects and a wonderful garden and habitat.
