Winter
Charcoal on pastel board
Tasmania's winter is a time for reflection and creation. Within its embrace, moments of melancholy and reverie become potent sources of artistic inspiration. This piece, drawn in charcoal, portrays a young woman within her winter underworld, her thoughts fixed on the movement of time, waiting for spring and the unspoken anticipation of release.
