Artist’s Statement:

This figurative landscape is painted in response to enduring the driest spell on record in the South West of WA. Everything struggled, landscape, animals and people. Our dams dried up and the natural springs, a vital life source for decades seared in the heat to become baked pans of hardened clay. My torso image in this piece represents seasons past, the times of plenty and is set against the backdrop of this years drought stricken landscape.
