In this solo exhibition, artist Vanessa Russ draws on childhood memories of the Kimberley’s rivers, gorges, and flooded plains. Her expressive charcoal and ink drawings depict the land’s renewal during the wet season, when hidden waterways surge to life, spilling through ancient fissures to mix with rainwater. Each piece reflects Russ’s connection to Country, and her longing to be immersed in its transformation. Through her raw, layered technique, Russ evokes the beauty, power and joy of the Kimberley landscape after the early rains.
