Float No. 3 is the third in a series of paintings that expresses the deep emotional pull Australia has for me. After spending time overseas, coming home evokes something almost primal - a profound sense of relief and joy. The painting draws on the colours and rhythms of the Australian landscape: the blues of ocean, rivers and sky, sandy beaches, eucalyptus, bottlebrush and coral reefs. For me, the Float series captures the moment of returning home, when the familiar embraces you and you can finally let go and simply be.
