Acrylic painting on canvas.
On Millowl (Phillip Island), on Bunurong/Boon Wurrung Country, dusk gathers over the penguin colony at Summerland. Once covered by houses, this land was reclaimed to protect the birds — a return of sorts, where the colony could swell again in sound and number. Yet the word “colony” holds a double weight: for the penguins, fragile survival and return; for the settlers, the imprint of occupation, tourism, and the heaviness of infrastructures still laid across the land. In Liminal Wild, this painting lingers in that unsettled space, where beauty and survival move against the weight of human impacts and contested belonging.
