Founding2025Acrylic on canvas40 x 50cm “Founding” is an expression of connection between land, body, culture, and time. Created with warm earth tones drawn from the environment aro und me, the piece holds a quiet energy. The background stays still, almost timeless - speckled with warm light - while the centre moves with gentle tension. This contrast reflects the way landscapes shift and evolve, even when they appear unchanged. Nature grounds us. Not only in body, but in culture. The environment is not just something outside of us. It is our teacher, our memory, our future. Founding speaks to that relationship, showing how culture is carried by Country, and how art can become a kind of ceremony—an act of listening, remembering, and responding. To create is to be in dialogue with land. Through this work, I reflect on how story and place shape one another, how stillness and movement coexist, and how deeply we are held by the world around us. “Founding” is a reminder that everything is connected. The land does not watch from a distance. It is part of us, shaping our stories, our culture, and our sense of belonging. Show more
