94cm x 165cm cotton, machine pieced and quilted. catalogue # D02

A detailed view of the ironstone caprock that protects the underlying deeply weathered strata. The distinctive stratification delimits the caprock. Throughout Australia plateaus, mesas and buttes exhibit this profile. On expansive plateaus, the profile is hidden but the cover of pellet-sized red gravel signifies the pisolitic weathering typically associated with laterisation.
