Materials: Watercolour painting printed on window wrap
About the Art
This artwork was painted from a photograph taken in the morning on the inside of Ormiston Gorge. This scene can be viewed at the end of Ghost Gum Walk, or by wading through the water from the main Gorge and scrambling over rocks.
The original artwork is a watercolour painting on paper, which was completed over three days.
About the Project
As part of the Alice Springs Street Art Project, the painting was chosen by the Visitor’s Centre through Red Hots Arts to be used as a window wrap on their building. The Visitor Centre is situated on Todd Mall and the window wrap is on the Parsons Street side of the building.
Words from the Artist
"I am delighted that my painting was chosen and it is great to see it displayed on a big scale.
The landscape and colours of the Centre inspires me to paint them and Ormiston Gorge is one of my favourite sites. It is dramatic, with its steep and sloping walls heightened by the colours and ruggedness, contrasted by the tranquillity of the waterhole."
