Petrified wood, formed over millions of years, stands as a testament to nature's extraordinary timescales. With the boobook’s ancestors having lived in Australia for 60 million years. This piece highlights the reciprocal relationship between the owl and the tree, each offering a familiar refuge to the other—a tangible reminder of their shared history and home and the continuity of life across millennia.
