This painting depicts me praying in the desert area known as Lake Mungo (refer centre panel of "This Sacred Place" as well).

It is night and I am dreaming of past ancestors, wondering about symbols that appear to be meaningful in my life and generally getting in contact with Mother Earth. The darkness brings peace but also strange and wonderful dreams of other lives, other times, traces os memories.

It was painted to go to Estense Castle in Ferrara for a show but didn't make it due to the economic downturn so still remains with me. I like to have it on my wall for now anyway as it is so personal on a very deep and fundamental level.
