The concept behind this collection is 24 large scale paintings symbolizing 24 hours in a day within the Australian landscape. From the first golden rays of sunshine creeping through the rugged sands of the desert to the mellowing whisper of silver moon. Depicting Australia’s raw and furrowed vast outback in all its glory. The paintings are named according to the hour of the day in 24 hour time namenclature. Next to each hour is the indigenous name for this number, one to twenty four, in the local dialect relating to the landscapes from which inspiration was drawn. In this case, each hour is translated into native Noongar, which is the official language of the Aboriginal people of the south-west of Western Australia.
