Inspired by the rich flora and fauna seen on a visit to Byron Bay, Australia. The use of collage, involving heavily textured sacking, gel paste and pumice incorporated with Acrylic, provides the piece with its rich depth. The border is inspired by dots and dashes frequently seen bordering native Aboriginal art.
