Let Me Pass Onto You

Let Me Pass Onto You  (2021)

Let Me Pass Onto You is an enquiry into walking as an act of learning, intergenerational relationships, knowledge and custodianship in the face of the climate crisis. This portrait of the Blue Gum Forest, on Dharug Country, in the Grose Valley, Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, contemplates an ancient place that inspired a conservation movement. Transformed after fire and flood, the forest is in concurrent stages of martyrdom and regeneration. The 70-metre tall Eucalyptus deanei are estimated to be up to 1200 years old, but the reproductive capacity of the Blue Gum Forest from this point is unknown.
