Dusk Whispering (Hidden Lagoon)
Melinda Giblett
Dimensions: 94.5 x 94.5
Year: 2022
Medium: oil on polyester
Description:
A moment in time when a vast moon rises to set an astonishing atmosphere over the lagoon near the old Boyd homestead at Bundanon, NSW-not just to celebrate momentary beauty through colour and texture, but to contemplate the ancient nature of Country and our contextual place within it. Recent restorative projects and positive intervention with this landscape has led to a lavish diversity of flora and fauna that now flourish as a result. The lagoon although ‘hidden’ in this work, represents a natural basin for water retention that has been cleansed of noxious weeds allowing the sustainment of native birdlife and insects.
