‘Silent Land' speaks to the particular comfort I find in the landscape; the way it holds you, envelops you and allows you to just be. I remember first feeling this as a child without quite knowing how to name it then, but finding a kind of permission in the silence, to just walk and notice the details in the landscape. No need to disturb the peace with spoken words; just the land and the quiet and the simple fact of being a small part of something bigger. That same feeling returns to me now, decades on, whenever I stand in a landscape and let the sounds of nature wash over me, whether that's at Lake Weyba, in my bushland garden or at the beach. In this painting, the field barns speak to the past, the eucalypt motifs to the present and the raindrops speak to my journey between the two.

Part of the Threshold Series - a body of work exploring the dual landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales and the Sunshine Coast, and what it means to be shaped by both. Read more about the series in the blog.
