4006, outgrowing shallow waters, Marli Ryan

$999.00

ARTWORK ID: 4006

CATEGORY: Painting by Pilbara Indigenous Artist

ARTIST STATEMENT:

This work traces the feeling of moving through spaces that were never meant to hold you. Beneath calm, blue forms, the presence of skeletal fish suggests a quiet unravelling, where what surrounds you begins to shape you.

There is a tension between belonging and becoming, between staying and knowing when to leave. Patterns repeat, lessons return, and over time, something shifts.

At its core, this piece speaks to growth, the kind that comes from recognising when to let go, and learning to find yourself beyond the environments that once defined you.

MEDIUM: acrylic on canvas

ARTWORK DIMENSIONS (width x height): 700mm x 1000mm

WEIGHT (approx): 2.3kg
