The River Remembers
Acrylic on canvas
92x152cm
Framed in American Ash Float Frame

This river is more than water. It is memory, carved into Country. It has carried the footsteps of generations—kangaroo and emu, Elder and child—all walking its banks, all gathering at its edge.
Along the winding flow, campfires burn. Symbols of connection. Of stories passed by firelight, of laughter and learning, of quiet moments when the stars reflect in the current. The flowering gums, waratahs, and banksias bloom like living witnesses, standing watch over the yarns that ripple through time.
Every track tells a journey. Every mark in the sand holds a voice. And the river remembers them all.
It remembers where we sat. Where we listened. Where we drank. Where we belonged.
