While walking in the park, a chance sighting of a small piece of weathered wood with its splintered end, gave me the idea for 'Tree for Life'.
The bedrock background is symbolically supporting the metaphorical tree of sustainable development.
The 17 splintered ends are the roots representing these goals.
The weathered wood is the tree trunk - a construct of 17 pillars.
The angular canopy of the tree is made of shapes resembling the ginkgo leaf, its tree a symbol of hope, strength, and resilience.
The tiny pearls represent faith in this instance.
The glowing orb ensouls these goals.

Rosemary Collard (b.1948) is an abstract digital artist. Originally from WA she relocated to Tasmania in 2013.
Inspired by the work of Kandinsky, her long held goal has been to develop an abstract style of her own.
An advocate of the art of the subconscious doodling she begins most work in this manner, creating what appears to be random chaos. The challenge is to create a plausible image from this starting point. Titles are important and often revealed as the work progresses.
She made the transition from physical to digital art after seeing its potential in the mid 1990's. Since then, she has worked exclusively on computer, developing her skills and artworks, contract works and commissions.
PRIZES:
2012 City of Swan Excellence Award - Acquisitive Award - 'Forest Flower'
1987 and 1992 Hospice Foundation Art Prize
1985 and 1986 City of Bunbury Purchase Prize
