STORY
Movement, colour and texture play an important role in this work.Green Oxide, Olive Green and hints of Ultramarine blue, Prussian blue and Titanium white portray the maze of reefs and islands, strong tidal currents with narrow channels between Islands and reefs of the Torres Strait.Luminous colours that change and shift with the tide.
Movement and colour under the water.Unexpected patterns and shapes as the sea moves with the currents and tide. I am a man of the Saltwater; a Crocodile; Proud of my Heritage.
