Art tells stories (2)
The beauty of stark post fire landscape draws me in, inspires mark making, stops me with some sense of wonder.
Weeds don’t do that but I don’t spray weeds. I use an eco oil spray for beans that are being destroyed by aphids but I refuse to use any weed killer.
For transparency and loss of a commitment to my values and desperation I must say I used a Weed and Feed product on lawn last week. Today I’m digging individual weeds from the same front section of our 640 square metre block. It will be returned ( the front lawn) to native tree plants over the next 12 months.
