Morning Journey

Corinna is a tiny settlement on the Pieman River, located at the edge of Tarkine wilderness in North West Tasmania. Set within temperate rainforest, this former mining village now offers accommodation and camping platforms from which visitors can explore the remote area.
I was lucky enough to stay here for several days, and soon came to realise how life in this place becomes centred upon the river and the rainforest along its edges. Kayaking for hours along this natural corridor I felt immersed into the peace and beauty of this area. In the early morning the river surface is covered in drifting wisps of mist, before it is dispersed by the rising sun.
With this artwork I aim to convey the mystical feeling of setting out to journey along this misty river, with the wake of the kayak creating curving patterns in the smooth river surface.
