Artist Statement - October 2016
Ormiston is a favourite spot on the West MacDonnell Ranges. It is different every time I visit. The country adapts quickly to any rain and the desert bursts into life to make the most of any moisture. The Range at the back of the Gorge changes colour at different times of the day and different seasons. Sometimes it’s almost violent orange. This day it was more subdued purples and pinks. I drive past Ormiston often on my way back from Mt. Liebig community. It’s a luxury if I have time to stop and visit this waterhole.
