This landscape is an extension on my first "otherland" artwork. I sought inspiration from landscapes I had been but I also asked for stories from others about where they had been. This is the result of that process.
I spoke to my parents, they are as the saying goes 'Grey Nomads', they told me stories and showed me photos of all the places they had been throughout Australia, the stories painted beautiful mental pictures as much as the photos capture glimpses of them in reality. This artwork is a mental amalgamation of their stories, I've even thrown them in to this work, travelling in their Pajero and trailer through a new place with my interpretation of their travel stories.
I think I need to do a road trip.
