Under the Moon Painting

Under the Moon portrays the historical industrial tones of Sydneys Cockatoo Island, which is one of my favourite outings on Sydney Harbour. The colours draw on the shades and shadows thrown by dappled light as day fades on this iconic Australian landscape. UNESCO World Heritage Site Cockatoo Island is steeped in history, much of which is well preserved and has been 'home' to many things: a place for the Eora First Nations people, a penal colony, an industrial school and reformatory as well as a popular TV and film location. Visible remnants of the dockyards that launched many a ship are still very prominant on the island and from the surrounding waters. We can’t crack a bottle on the canvas but can certainly raise a glass to the collector with a place for this in their home/office! The theme is consistent with Rachel's current work, which explores Australia’s unique ecosystem, rich colours and topography embedding shapes and lines predominantly seen only from the air. The spiral, which can be seen in all of her current work, symbolises evolution and our relationship with and impact on the environment in hope that we as a society can appreciate, protect and nurture what we have before it’s too late. Sides painted mid-grey to match the background. Signed on the side to enable multiple hanging options; hangs well portrait or landscape. Currently ready to hang landscape.
