Description

Open Edition Reproduction

This poignant image captures the ever-changing landscape of the Australian bush, portraying an old creek in the aftermath of flooding rains as the water gradually recedes, revealing the intricate patterns in it’s drying bed. Standing sentinel along the creek's banks, an ancient gum tree stretches its weathered branches across the creek bed, its roots clinging tenaciously to the parched earth.

Through this image, the artist invites us to reflect on the intricate balance of nature and the ever-changing rhythms of the Australian landscape. As we gaze upon the scene, we are reminded to cherish the timeless beauty of the bush and to honour the ancient wisdom of the gum tree, which stands as a silent witness to the passage of time.
