‘Kimberley Whispers’
“My inspiration for this show:
The land is never completely silent.
If it isn’t birds, it’s cicadas, crickets, wind — movement layered over time.
These works come from listening closely to the Kimberley.
Not to loud declarations, but to what is carried in rhythm, weather and change.
Through abstraction, the paintings speak to presence as much as place — to the feeling of this ancient Country as it continues to express itself.
My practice begins in the landscape: becoming immersed, noticing the smallest details and patterns, absorbing every sound. Those lived experiences settle within me, then emerge again as flowing, emotional works — reflections of a land that is at once powerful, intricate and profoundly beautiful..”
