Slumbering Self, 2024, oil on canvas, 91.5 x 152 cm

$3,900.00

In 2024 I travelled to Central Australia to paint and explore my relationship with the centre of this ancient land. The desert landforms and space confronted me with my limits and ultimately, my finiteness. I felt drawn to deep gorge shadows, ghost gums standing serenely in creek beds and the wide sky. At night I began to dream in brush marks of burnt sienna, magenta, cobalt blue, umber and indigo. Then strangely, I began to dream that I embodied the mountain range, that my body formed the bluffs and valleys of the ranges, that I was the mountain, and it was me. This painting was made in response.

Selected as a Finalist in the 2025 Muswellbrook Prize.
