The vast Australian desert is home to many breathtaking natural wonders, one of which is the salt lakes and flats that dot the arid landscape. This artwork captures their essence of their unique beauty.
The dominant colours in the painting are shades of orange, deep pinks and reds, pale white blues, and black curvilinear lines. The colours represent the warmth of the desert, the heat of the sun, the reflections of the sky at dawn and dusk, and the starkness of the salt flats. The curvilinear lines add a sense of movement and structure to the composition, mimicking the flow of the wind that shapes the salt formations. The inclusion of numbers represents human presence and their interference with the landscape for salt mining.
