Trees, by their very nature, are irregular. No two in the world alike.  From twisted roots, their contorted forms burst out of the earth, leading to marvelous paths of leaved/leave-less extensions.  The landscape and terrain of Australia is nothing short of extraordinary, from outback terrain, exquisite gardens and cliffs to urban settings and contemporary architecture.
The work conveys the contortion and conformity of the irregular tree limbs with their external natural forces.
