Carnarvon Gorge Western Australia

119 X 89 cms

Up in Queensland, a few hours drive inland from the coast, this gorge cuts its way between two escarpments. It is full of gum trees and tree ferns, and there are two sites of ancient aborigine rock paintings. On my way up the gorge I was seeing each tree, rock and plant as individual. On my way down I was aware of the interaction and interdependence of everything that lived in this magical wholeness, including the spirits of the people who had long ago dwelt here. The outlines of their hands have been left for posterity.
