Dingo Walks on Water

Photomontage on archival cotton rag paper 64 x 100 cm - framed I make the connection between myself living within this landscape, the historical past and the tenuous present. I include my own watercolour interpretation of Stubbs painting of a Dingo into a historical mashup, playing with imagery and history to create a new narrative. My connection with my catholic upbringing seeps through to portray a native Australian animal, the dingo, gliding effortlessly upon the glassy pink water. Mountains and sky are inverted in our upside-down antipodean land, connected to a European aesthetic and interpretation of landscape, flora and fauna.
