| Blackdown Tablelands
Watercolour on cold pressed sheet
Taking inspiration from the vibrancy of Australian landscapes, Blackdown Tablelands melts and binds vivid outback shades together as they flow harmoniously like water. This scene invites viewers onto the banks of a peaceful waterhole, to enjoy the song of soft waterfall spray showering down over sunburnt rocks. This scene depicts the contradiction, beauty and power generated by nature’s continual flow over the centuries.
A long, slender dimension celebrates the height of and echo of the plunging falls, while the solid, rigid rocks have carefully assembled themselves to contain this vital lifeforce and provide shelter, security and nourishment to local fauna and flora.
Bright sunshine to the viewer’s right bleaches out the scene and evokes a sense of heat, which is countered by the shade and depth of the waterhole as it offers shelter and welcome respite. |
