This work is a response to walking for ten days through the ancient Finke Gorge, on Western Arrernte country (NT), in 2021. The group meditation / pilgrimage was held mostly in silence, creating powerful conditions for intimate observation and immersion both in that place and in my own inner life. This exhibition was held at Artpuff in Castlemaine in April 2023, with Kirsten Moegerlein, who was on that same pilgrimage. Full artist statement here.
