Even in drought conditions, cattle must be moved. It’s a teamwork effort from land to sky.
Curator’s Comment
Through this work, you have demonstrated the sensitive depiction of space which is compositionally engaging and reveals a strong understanding of light and shadow. The textural quality of the work mirrors the surface of the ground itself. The conceptual focus of the work is well-aligned with the exhibition theme and shows your authentic understanding of and connection to rural lived experiences.
About the artist
Machelle Flanigan started watercolour painting in August 2023, with no history of art. Flanigan loves the flow of the paint. It can go wherever and that is no accident; in art there are no accidents. Flanigan feels she is learning with each new painting that she creates.
