About the work
In The remaking of things, we have created a pocket of restored eucalyptus forest habitat by the banks of the Birrarung for the Grey-headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus), and all who fall beneath the care and knowledge of their wing, from the smallest Reed Warbler (c. 1804–1806) to the loftiest, gelatin silver Giant eucalyptus (1899), our human selves included. We have interlaced our roles as artists and wildlife carers for the Grey-headed flying fox to sow a message of hope, cultivated from Anne Paulson’s Sketches of Victorian bush flowers (c. 1861) and fit for a John Lewin’s Warty-face Honey-sucker (now known as a Regent honeyeater). We have placed our emphasis upon what we can grow, rather than upon what we have lost (habitat, biodiversity, stable climate). Through seed dispersal and pollinating plants, flying foxes are the reason we have trees, diversity. And it is because of this ‘no me, no tree’ that none of us can afford to lose this threatened species.
