An immediate identification of the artists projected location - Dampier. The use of colour and form translates the industrial landscape into a beautifully soft composition. The struggle between the natural in the foreground and the industrial on the horizon sits so lightly on the surface of this piece, showing the tension in such a content and serene way - very reminiscent of its location.
