Sculptures highlighted by uplifting locations of lakes, rivers and the ocean.

 

Being a Year of Water Rabbit, which is recognized as one of the most powerful combinations in the Chinese Zodiac, I am continuing my focus on the creative fluidity that is enlivened by the presence of the embracing water element with a collection of sculptures presented in various water enviroments.

Also a 5 minute video of a journey into a exremely remote location in the Kimderley region of North West Australia featuring pure spring waters.
