Rain on Recovered Roads: Taree

The Story of Rain on Recovered Roads: Taree

This work rises from the depths of Taree’s flood, where the streets bore the weight of deluge and despair. The composition is dominated with a dark, muddy palette mirroring a gritty, muddy landscape. Its rugged surface suggests the chaos of drenched debris. Its high gloss finish evokes the wetness that clung to tireless rescue efforts, and its coppery paths, weaving through the dark expanse, are symbols of resilience as roads were rediscovered under the mud. At a certain angle, raindrops whisper across the composition, a haunting echo of the rains that continued to fall as people swept and cleared. This piece is both a lament and a love letter to Taree, its glints of copper speaking of hope for the future.

Note: this piece has been designed in such a way that welcomes human touch - it has been coated to withstand interaction, so the viewer is invited to experience this artwork visually and physically.
