In this series for BEAUTY + THE BUSH I have chosen to playfully depict some of our introduced species into soft pastel hued, nonrepresentational landscapes, exploring the fragile side to the contrary rugged continent of regional Australia. Are you aware that there are no cloven or hoofed footed animal indigenous to Australia? Beginning with a red, dry canvas I finally draw into the completed wet painting revealing red line symbolizing caution, energy and primal forces; perhaps a warning of upset to the fragility of our ecosystem. My love of surrealism, in particular, the works of Rene Magritte has influenced this body of work.
