| Reflection II - Rachel Carroll |
Official statement about the exhibition:
"This new exhibition by Rachel Carroll is a continuation of a journey which began at the Coorong in 2006. Rachel has since visited a new location in the Murray Darling River Basin each year to encounter its beauty and its presence at the waters edge.
Often meeting local scientists, indigenous, journalists and even MP’s at the River side, Rachel has delighted in the stories and the experiences of others which in turn, inspired the large scale landscapes painted for this show.
This new series of the Hattah National Park, Victoria celebrates the beauty of the newly flooded wetland, a first in 15 years.
"The river has a life of its own… one that I have sought in paint. The colours of sunrise and sunset inspire this series and the reflections within the water. I have taken inspiration from the colours of the masters for this series, Monet and Vermeer. "
