Abstract
This creative non-fiction essay was commissioned by Bunbury Regional Art Gallery for a publication linked to the South West Art Now exhibition. The essay was commissioned to represent the creative writing practice in the South West and considers creative practice and its relationship to the landscape in the region, with three sections navigating creative practice as a nexus between the earth beneath our feet and the sky above us. The work involved visiting locations on the Collie River to write in relation to the granite rocks of the riverbed and observations of the night sky, including the rare Aurora Australis. The publication records the various artists and their practices to tell the story of the region.
