Migration 4 - Breaking Ties outback It would be striking talking

It would be striking talking point in any room

a vibrant blue for one boat contrasting with the other

The background consists of abstract shapes and textures

These two magpies took a liking to my father’s sun dial in the garden

creating a sense of organic flow as if the composition is part of a larger natural world

Migration 4 - Breaking Ties outback It would be striking talkingThe sea represents memory, passage and transience, recalling my childhood migration to Australia. The streamers, a common symbol in each painting in this migration series, signify broken ties with family and homeland but like memories, linger long after departure. The painting is on high quality Italian linen.
