This ancient landscape; rich with native bush and fresh water flowing within panninher and letteremairrener country continues to be a primary source for exploration. When passing through the bushland along the Kanamaluka Tamar River I am released from linear time and immerse myself in the textures, tones and energy of this landscape, the mark making becomes an extension of my experience. A visual translation of the tracks, the rocks, native scrubland and surrounding bushland creates and informs my memory of it. When I walk through this place familiar as it ever was, I find consolation and comfort in portraying it. Painting has offered a quiet contemplation; a refuge in understanding the intangible.
