In the broader context, the artworks refer to the character of the Pilbara Region, its landscape, culture and its people. More specifically to the role of extremes. The vast flatness of the Pilbara landscape is occasionally punctuated by eruptions of stone and earth. Red earth. The landscape is dominated by spinifex. Spinifex Spears captures the harshness of the landscape, the colour of the land and the inhospitable vegetation of the region.
