The viewer's focus is drawn to a young Wedgetail Eagle, a powerful totem in the artist's culture, seen here in its infancy. The rich depth of the colours is intentional, reflecting what the artist describes as "therapeutic intuitions of womblike healing and growth." The entire scene is imbued with a sense of safety, nurturing, and quiet potential.
This is a hopeful and forward-looking painting. The young eagle, secure on its branch above the nest, represents the strength and resilience of the next generation and the continuity of culture and family. As a significant piece from the Signature Collection, it is a compelling work for a collector who appreciates art that is both deeply personal and universally hopeful.
