Story

Imagine your bathing in your favourite waterhole with the campfire burning, the sky is a bright blue and there not another soul around. I have been lucky enough to experience this many times in my life on my country back home and now here on Dharawal Country. This contemporary piece was to evoke a sense of gurai (wonder)

The bright blue symbolises the sky in this story while the  symbology in reds and shade of orange is the symbology for smoke. The textured blue is the symbology for campsite with running water.
