'Silent Land' speaks to the particular comfort I find in 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 it go quiet around me, whether that's at Lake Weyba, in my bushland garden or at the beach. It's that slow, patient carving of landscape over time that binds them all together. The field barns and eucalypt motifs speak to the past and the present as the raindrops speak to the ebb and flow between the two.
