Hide and Seek Habitats
Artist: Tahlia Henderson
Within these landscapes are small flowers, birds, leaves, scribbled bark, and shiny bugs that might go unnoticed at first glance. These paintings are inspired by the many hours spent walking tracks and sitting on the floor of the bush on and around Gadigal land. Even when repeating the same track, new discoveries can always be made - if you look closely.
