Stirring, 2022 Wollumbin Art Award Finalist Exhibition, Tweed Regional Gallery

Thinking is likened to the movement of water in this depiction of psychological space. Stand up water paddlers enact the mechanics of stirring the thoughts of the recumbent man.

Completed amidst the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic and severe flooding in the Bundjalung, Northern Rivers region, this broader context is reflected in the protagonist’s sombre reflection.
