Acacia drummondii and Sea water on canvas, 1300x1700mm. 2022 Mosman Art prize recipient

 

Each day of October 2021 a daily ritual was adhered to.

Fallen golden wattle was collected at dawn. Seawater at dusk. An infusion from the two sources  was made each night

and then applied to canvas.

A specific paint for that day, sourced from a different tree, different location.

29 washes, indicative of Spring.
