Charley Stewart
The Life of Matthew Flinders

“The Life of Matthew Flinders” is inspired by Rob Mundle’s Matthew Flinders – The Man Who Mapped Australia. The artwork uses historical nautical objects to capture the first circumnavigation of Australia, combining past and present symbols in a formal composition. The red flag contrasts with muted tones to draw focus, while perspective guides the viewer’s eye. Key objects—such as the map, clock, lantern, and sailor’s items—symbolise exploration, the passage of time, and life at sea. Overall, the work reflects Flinders’ journey and connects viewers to this historical moment.

Size: 30.5 × 40.6 cm
