Rockface - Coastal Erosion #4, 2024

117 × 117 cm Sand, pigments and acrylic on canvas

Not Available

this work is from a series that references a sandstone cliff face in Murramarang National Park on the NSW south coast. I have been recording cliff faces there for many years, recently I observed massive erosion from weather events. The rock face has become fragile and flaking. I have recorded the delicate surface with it's textures and coloration. My focus a a landscape artist is the geology of a place, I search locations where the geology is visible, cliff faces, gorges, rock platforms. I use fine sand mixed with pigments and acrylic medium to give the work a relevant physicality.
