This painting gathers memories of water and light — from lily pads and stone-edged pools in Kakadu, on Bininj/Mungguy Country, to shimmering fish in ponds — shaped first by post-war Europe — encountered among the ferns and gullies of Wurundjeri Country. The trees themselves are imaginal, conjured into being to hold a dance of light and shade. They invite the viewer to linger, to delight in the shadows, and to dip gently within the pleasures of the senses.
