Artist statement:

I am continually drawn back to Lake Sorell on the Central Plateau of Tasmania to listen deeply to the ‘silence’ this landscape emits. This environment is layered in history and memory, geologically and culturally, and in the more current experiences and emotions I bring to its shores.

Geelong Gallery acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the Gallery and its collections are located, the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to all Elders, past, present and emerging.
