For many Australians, the Easter long weekend tradition includes a road trip - either to visit family or as a 'getaway mini holiday'. Often our country vistas are flat and parched, lit by harsh sunlight that creates colours unlike those of the northern hemisphere. It is different and beautiful. I love visiting GOMA and the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane. Every visit unearths a new discovery or I see an old favourite in a new light. One of my favourites is by Doreen Reid Nakamarra, Untitled (Marrapinti) 2008. It has been positioned on the floor so as you walk around and gaze from different perspectives the landscape of the paiting undulates before your eyes. It is mesmerising, magical, mystical and magnificient.
Wherever you happen to be for Easter, take a moment and look around.
Feed your senses and marvel at the beauty in this world.
I think we all need a little of that in our lives. Love, Colleen.
