TERRITORY COLOURS VORTEX
$161

I’ve been exploring vortexes in my work for a few years now. They are a way of expressing and processing different themes in my life through art. I get into a meditative state when creating the vortex as I can express using abstract and known shape, colour, line and the interaction between them. This vortex was created as I thought of the Northern Territory as my home for many years.
