Where I live in Northern Australia, water means life and death all at the same time. There is fear in the water, the leviathans that linger there, we teach our children to try and see the bottom.

But when the rain comes we are the first to dance in it, to swim in the puddles, to play in the mud and fish in the rivers.

Life and death, all at the same time.

This piece was made in wet season, when the rivers are high and dangerous, when seeing the bottom is hard and when the water moves fast.

There is so much water everywhere that it can consume you.

Made just outside of Bulman in the Northern Territory. I pay my respects to the Traditional Owners of the land, past, present and emerging.
