I've been meaning to put this up for some time, but as usual, time escapes me.
This is one of the pieces I entered in the Sydney Royal Show 2011.
I started the designs in January, when the Brisbane river flooded. Every day on TV or when I logged onto my homepage, I'd see this meandering line. The Brisbane River. So it became the centre of the composition. It forms the line between the blue and brown elements, cutting diagonally top right to bottom left.
I also experimented with making pre-felt sheets, then dyeing them. I have cut these and relaid them into the composition to get these lovely subtle shade changes.
I have tried to give the impression of an orderly landscape being broken-up, shattered, by the rising and them receding waters.
I'm happy with the way it turned out.
