Reflections (Old Mutawintji Gorge)
2024, watercolour monotype on paper, framed, 76cm x 56cm , framed size 91 x 71cm
“Seen in reflection, the horizon appears closer, yet just as elusive, forever shifting in relation to my position and point of view. ‘Reflections (Old Mutawintji Gorge)’ marks a moment of pause following my recent solo exhibition ‘In Return’ - a process of looking back to move forward.
I hope that this new watercolour monotype conveys something of my experience and memories of visiting Old Mutawintji Gorge on Barkindji and Malyangapa Country, Far West NSW in 2022 & 2023. Passing between weathered walls of rock rising up beside the dry creek-bed, I saw sky and earth converge in vital pools of water. Moving inwards, towards a larger waterhole, I also approached an internal space and state of stillness and contemplation.”
