"By 2025, we may witness the last blooms of the cane flowers in the June-July winter light, a sight of unparalleled beauty that has graced our landscape for generations. The closure of the sugar cane mill in Mossman, Far North Queensland, is ushering in significant thresholds of change on the landscape and the community. This breathtaking sight, an inspiring part of the landscape, is captured in oil and Pigments, hand-mixed to capture the magical afternoon light."
