Shoreline snorkelers at Little Bay Beach, NSW

Artist Statement

It is through the precision and fluidity of drawing that I explore the natural form of Little Bay Beach and the complex interactions between the shoreline and water. It was important for me to capture the sense of endless lines weaving throughout the scene. I purposefully shifted the viewpoint away from the horizon to emphasise the intricacies within the chains of rippling waves, observing how their repeating lines become intertwined with the fluid curves of the rock. I have laid down each pencil marking with considered intention towards capturing realism whilst also stirring the energy of the landscape to make the onlooker feel as though they are standing there themselves.
