I chose the symbol of the Maiwar to represent the Meanjin area, but also Barrambin's history and connection with the river as a flood plain. Floods are a necessary cycle within nature which may be destructive at first, but ultimately, they create an environment for more life to flourish.In a circular pattern around the sun dial, small leaf shaped ovals will be burnt into the grass to represent the numbers on a clock and aid with the sculptures ability to tell time. If burning is not possible, I can replicate the burnt effect by sheering those specific areas of grass, then painting them black with a natural die. The significance of them being burnt is a tribute to the ancient tradition of burn offs, a practice of carefully burning selected areas of bush land so there can be new growth. Burn offs ensure certain seed pod species can burst and regenerate, as well as minimising the possibility of a large wild bush fire. First Nations groups have been practicing controlled burn offs for at least 18000 years, this is a true example of humans and nature having a symbiotic relationship; not only living off the land but contributing to the natural cycles and giving back to the well-fair of the natural balance. The importance of burn offs became very clear after European invasion, when First Nations groups were prevented from upkeeping their land and numerous devastating wildfires burnt through in close succession. Today burn offs have once again become a regular practice, like floods they are a necessary act of destruction to create room for more life.
