Caves

2021
acrylic on canvas
41 x 81cm

This painting symbolises the twin boulder caves on Kings Beach.

Standing inside these globe shaped boulder caves, I marvelled at the naturally carved patterns on the inside walls created by the many years of battering waves and high tides.

I have seen similar patterns used in Aboriginal artwork before and this inspired me to paint this.

The texture on this painting replicates the human touch on the inside of the cave, the golden dots represents its colour when touched by the sunlight.
