Scribbly Gum

Overview
Scribbly Gum is a large, three-screen atmospheric video program that captures a snapshot of life in and on a single scribbly gum in an average Sydney backyard. 

We shot sequences of this particular tree over the course of a year. The program shows the passing of time from the emergence of the cicadas, through blossom time and shedding of bark. 

This installation was presented in the section of the Surviving Australia exhibition at the Australian Museum devoted to wildlife in suburban backyards.
