Sacred Land

This series is an exploration of the fascination of “place,” where memory and journeys meet to create a sacred place of contemplation.

The viewpoint is “spiritual,” from above, looking down on landscapes that have been saturated with light, distilled, and abstracted to become mainly flat planes of vibrant colour. Curved pathways weave around and through the landscape contours imbuing a sense of dwelling in the landscape while journeying though.
