I stumbled across Deer Pool during a walk through the bushland south of Sydney, Australia. On the right you can see my wife dancing topless. In small moments throughout the work I push and pull the boundary between realism and abstraction, highlighting the layers and complexity of identity and place.
I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land throughout Australia, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. I pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
