| "The artist has chosen the historic woodlines to tell a story of environmental and cultural changes due to past and current mining in the Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie area of Western Australia. The woodlines, light railway lines, were established in 1901 to cart the cut surrounding forest timber to the gold mine smelters. Their design allowed for them to be easily moved to new forested areas. Little trace of the woodlines remains but the surrounding desert they helped create, is silent witness to their existence."
