ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A creature, hiding and unbelonging, who becomes present when the timeless space isn’t yours to feel. It drifts, it surrounds, it breathes life into emptiness. ABOUT NUGA NUGA LAKE Lake Nuga Nuga lies within the home country of the Karingbal people. Their name for the lake was, and still is, Wagan Wagan. Karingbal people associate the origin of Wagan Wagan Lake with one of the most significant creatures in Australian Aboriginal mythology, the Rainbow Serpent. Areas associated with this creature are held in great reverence and the Lake Nuga Nuga area is exceptional in that it is the home of not one but two Rainbow Serpents. The two prominent mountains on the northern lake edge are known as Mt Warrinilla and Mt Kirk. One Rainbow Serpent is said to reside under each of these mountains. Lake Wagan Wagan was originally created by the travelling Rainbow Serpents as their final home, and maintain the water in the lake to keep their bodies moist. It is said that if the Rainbow Serpents leave their homes under the mountains the lake will dry up forever.

MARTINUS CORNELIUS Born in a storm, restless ever since. Whilst adrift in an endless desert, I couldn’t keep the timeless space of this barren arid land at a distance. The unconventional mystic beauty and her organic chemistry was omnipresent. I was drawn into it, an illusion becoming a reality, a riddle of a sphinx, and in return I painted it. Painting is a physical birth of imagination, a kinship resembling the sanctified character of the outback. My adventure of painting, an old language, was a spiritual transfer of the soul. It was an expression of my ‘watch time’, a visual dialogue, where words were reflected in colours, thoughts became surfaces, memories drawn as graphic lines. They were conceived through the transfiguration act of painting.
