Forrest Meditations

"Forrest Meditations" is an expressive response to the secret, energetic diversity of Meanjin/Brisbane’s remaining inner-city natural places. The artwork is inspired by my ongoing embodied walks along Enoggera Creek, drawing from the playful practice of nature journalling which required a heightened sensory attention to place. Layered, gestural mark-making across media evokes the rhythms and textures of this forest.
Note: This is a one-off, original piece. The piece is UNFRAMED. The artwork has been varnished for protection and longevity with NAM Satin Varnish.
