Making Tracks, acrylic and earth wash on canvas, 45 x 45cm (unframed, ready to hang)

Making Tracks plays on the phrase to ‘make tracks’ – to hurry towards our next destination. On a recent road-trip across the country, rather than hasten the journey, the artist took time to ‘make tracks’, to gently wander, to listen to the language of colour in the landscape, enabling fresh interpretations. Rather than dull and uneventful, the experience is alive with colour, giving rise to a fusion of sensations amid encounters with land, water, and sky. These colours undulate across the canvas, convoluted and indistinct yet keenly evocative of the landscape, and intertwined with metaphorical and emotional tracks of the experience.
