Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

There is a creek not far from where I live, it flows over a sandstone base and etched deep into this sandstone are grinding marks with some being quite deep. This is where spearheads and stone tools would have been sharpened . Within a few metres there are other deeper and longer groves in the same sandstone base. These grooves were created by Cobb & Co coaches in the early days of settlement in this region. On the few visits I have made to this place I have found myself pondering what it might have been like for those quietly going about their work grinding their implements and chatting amongst themselves to then hear the thunderous roar of a team of 6 horses and a coach come barrelling down on them. It would be akin to Aussie's having a quite afternoon pottering in the garden only to have a truck come barrelling through their backyard. This work has taken a while to evolve, is complex, is about the energy of place and imagined gatherings etched in the residual markings.
