The journey by boat to Port Davey, on Tasmania’s southwest coast is rugged and exposed. When I finally past the Breaksea Islands and entered the bay, the calm water and mist filled mountains induced in me a sense of relief. In the following days travelling though the waterways I was met with never-ending possibilities. It was the moments of pause, finding myself between one place and another that was to later become the inspiration for this painting. To me, the organic round shape of hand beaten steel, baring the marks of time and work, is a portal into a past experience.
