The Country Below was inspired by those moments spent looking out across the Australian landscape and taking in its immense scale. Layers of texture and earth tones create a sense of depth and distance, revealing hints of weathered terrain, ancient geology and vast open country.
For me, this piece feels like standing at the edge of a gorge or canyon and looking down into the landscape below. Some areas appear solid and defined, while others dissolve into atmosphere, much like the land itself when viewed from a distance.
Rich in texture and subtle detail, The Country Below invites the viewer to slow down, explore the surface and discover their own connection to the landscape. It is a work that speaks of place, time and the quiet beauty found within Australia’s rugged terrain.
