The Story
At first glance, the image appears luminous and almost golden, alive with movement, reflection and light. Yet the longer one looks, the more the water begins to behave like land. The surface opens into something resembling an aerial map: sandbanks, waterholes, pathways, borders and remembered terrain.
The work began as a photograph of reflected light on water, but its final form suggests something more expansive. It sits between abstraction and landscape, between surface and depth, between looking down into water and seeing from above.
Water Map 1 also carries an unexpected echo of East Kimberley painting: not through imitation, but through spaciousness, restraint, and the way the central form sits within a surrounding field. The work invites the viewer to consider how water can become image, how reflection can become memory, and how abstraction can suggest place.
About the Offshore Aerial Collection
Offshore Aerial captures coastal waters from a perspective that resembles aerial mapping. The works blend sea, sky, and shoreline into abstract formations that feel both expansive and intimate.
