This piece contains two artworks, ‘Enchanted Valley’ and ‘Moonlit Stream’ which are read together. The artwork ‘Enchanted Valley’ depicts a tranquil stream as it descends down from a dark and misty highland forest through inundated gum trees before turning the corner and transforming into an into a expansive river that is surrounded by sweeping cliff faces and hills. In the extreme foreground, exquisitely detailed native plants are depicted in a manner that obscures the scene and adds to a sense of wonder and mystery. The artwork ‘Moonlit Stream’ depicts a dark and tranquil moonlit stream as it descends down rock faces and through a natural wetland before reaching a large freshwater waterhole that is interspersed with flooded gum trees that appear enchanted and animate. The artwork’s sympathetic depiction of native Australian plants and ecological systems reflects an ongoing tradition of Australian artists being fascinated and inspired by Australia’s landscape.
