Marrunga Yubaa - Snowfall
I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge the traditional owners of this land on which I was born and raised.
The Sweet Rain series is designed to ignite imagination and celebrate life. It signifies a raindrop’s journey from the clouds to the earth and its importance to the land and our lives. The ancient traditional Aboriginal symbol of rain is portrayed through my own contemporary artistic lens. I have designed the symbol to have a cup of delicate dots that surround just the bottom of each colour stroke, rather than a continuous line. The colour of each drop signifies part of my life story and is applied in layers of fine art strokes.
The crisp colours I have explored in this piece are icy shades of winter, blue and aqua with tips of white. This is the memory of my first wonderful trip to Perisher with my now husband, where we saw the snowy mountains, home of the Monero Ngarigo people within the Kosciuszko National Park region. The experience as we travelled higher up the mountains, seeing and feeling rain that is so cold, the droplets felt like ice. Then experiencing the amazing changing colour palette of the pure snow and the blue sky that is a crisp array of blues and whites, with clouds like silver.
This story is of an amazing natural element that comes to us in so many different forms, but its importance is the same. This painting is like all of us, though we come in many different forms, our importance is the same. I have learnt to appreciate this beautiful life source in all its wonder and like life, it’s importance to us all. We may not appreciate icy rains at the time they fall, we take it for granted, yet we are grateful to have experienced it in our blessed life.
I share my fascination of rain using this unique art formation and symbol that is my own. I continue my life journey giving thanks to the rain, a sweet reminder of all the important things I cannot live without.
