What I read about the structure of what’s inside these intriguing landforms took my attention. \u00a0So, I thought another in this series would feature the layered limestone and conglomerates using fine pieced strips in beige-cream\/off white tones, surrounded by a solid band of brown to signify the outer and inner colours determined by the structure. \u00a0This outer colour is due to the tiny spaces in the stone being colonised by cyanobacteria which give earthy browns and golds to the outer few millimetres, and this deepens when the rocks have been rained upon. \u00a0Inside the rock remains white and nearly white\/cream tones.<\/p>\n

The time consuming work was the piecing. so when I’d done enough, I set the shapes I’d cut into the solid colours, darker to go to the front\/nearest the viewer so to speak, thinking some sense of depth might result, and in a primitive way I think that’s been successful. \u00a0You’d think I’d have been able to work out that the black and white spotted fabric for the background just is not IT, though –<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
