This artwork was featured in my exhibition, “In My Nature. I painted in oil on canvas, and wrote about this practice in my art-based doctoral research project, Seeing Her Stories:
‘during visits to Northern New South Wales among luscious garden, coastal and national park environments. I became very interested in the negative spaces between objects, the shapes created by the light pushing through foliage, and the subtle dance of plants, rocks, dirt, sky and light as they interacted with one another. I experienced a heightened awareness of relationship, connection and inter-relatedness between the parts that make up a whole. I felt that by focusing on the nature outside myself I was reconnecting with the nature within myself, one of creativity and organic growth.’
