In Mungo National Park NSW there’s a unique geological feature that non indigenous explorers named “Walls of China”. Here, the subject is also a significant geological feature. A spectacular natural arch spanning Burra Creek in NSW – Ngunnawal Country – that has been called London Bridge.
In this work I aim to explore the techniques of Post Painterly Abstraction in order to celebrate the beautiful ancient Australian landscape. Also in my gallery, the related painting Bridge, presents a different treatment of the same subject. Both works reference a stack of inherited social constructs like the representation of Landscape and place naming rights, that can provide clues to our past. Or make us question it.
