In the thick of drought kangaroos perish and farmers walk off the land. All that is left are bones and broken crockery. Overlaid images prompt the observer to question the Anglo-Saxon relationship to country, to that of indigenous tribes. Foul biting and earthy colours bring attention to the weathered landscape of Australia.

The distance and the aura that surrounded them seemed to carry us along. As we walked, our conversation developed. There wasn't any hurry though both of us seemed to know this was a time for truth and peace.

Linocut Edition of 40 Image size: 28.5 x 76 cm Paper size: 28.5 x 76 cm PCA Print Commission 2008 This image reflects on the passing of time; the cycle of life and the inevitability of death; the alpha and the omega.

Unmapped and unmappable, with no fixed landmarks, it fascinates me. Early drawings gave evolved into abstracted curves of water that run over river banks and among islands of reeds.
