No Man’s Land
Triptych – Acrylic on wood
60 x 190cm
No man’s land my Gallipoli landscape reveals a brutalized, tormented, disfigured and broken land.
It’s a landscape inhabited by ghosts from both sides of the conflict.
Men who have made the ultimate sacrifice lie beneath it’s crusted surface cradled for eternity.
Their individual stories of love, family, friends, and mate-ship with fellow soldiers are buried with them. And they have become partnered with the land.
