Queensland floods, heroes, watercolour art and design

Metaverse scroll ....guided the horses to higher ground

Out of suffering rise the heroes through our news feed, photographed in their moment of sacrifice and kindness. The beauty of the water with greens and blues and the athletic back of the horseman are reminiscent of cossacks, the man from snowy river, WW1 soldiers in Egypt and heroes of our cultures.
Many heroes are hidden their stories never told the visually most striking become symbolic of all. We love them.

Metaverse scroll $123 Sandstone I split the rock I felled the tree

"I am he
who paved the way,
that you might walk
at your ease to-day.

I was the conscript
sent to hell
to make in the desert
the living well.

I bore the heat,
I blazed the track-
furrowed and bloody
upon my back.

I split the rock;
I felled the tree:
The nation was-
Because of me!

shame on the mouth
that would deny
the knotted hands
that set us high!"

Dame Mary Gilmore’s poem (around 1900) reflecting values of the time, The ‘knotted hands’ work largly destroyed in embarassment of the convict past but remnants still a possible investment on Facebook marketplace. or a practical solution for landscaping.

Ink on Rice paper works capture the dramatic rugged beauty of Tasmania’s Bays and Headlands. By exhibiting multiple versions of in situ ink sketches the viewer can experience the variable nature of being in the wilderness. Humans create a framework order through which to understand. Within this there are the variations, always changing and creating a rythm and meaning, in the physical and virtual worlds.

The metaverse scroll depicts our social media world, a valuable and mysterious tool to understanding and connecting, needing to be deciphered, our value hierachy assigned and projected onto images at speed.
