ARTWORK ID: 5052
CATEGORY: Pilbara Landscape
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Rooted in the quiet strength of the Pilbara landscape, this work reflects the enduring memory held within country - where water, even in its absence, continues to shape life, story, and identity.
The lone tree stands as both witness and survivor, its form marked by time, resilience, and the shifting rhythms of water that once moved more freely through this land. The surrounding riverbed, layered with colour and movement, suggests not only what is seen, but what is felt - echoes of past flow, of stillness, and of return.
In this piece, I explore the relationship between presence and memory - how landscapes hold emotion, and how we, in turn, recognise ourselves within them. The Pilbara has long been a place of contrast: harsh yet nurturing, sparse yet deeply alive. This duality is reflected through layered textures, bold mark-making, and a palette that balances warmth and depth.
This work invites the viewer to pause - to look beyond the surface and into the story held within the land. It is a moment of connection, of remembering, and of quiet reverence for place.
