Ingrid Daniell’s latest series explores memories of moments in nature she has experienced in awe; translating the landscape into a dream-like and spiritual place, imbuing the work with a symbolic narrative that speaks to a deeper meaning.

Says Ingrid of her work, “I am constantly inspired by the landscapes that shape my life experience; in particular Lutruwita/Tasmania and Wadadwurrung/Surf Coast, Victoria; spending time immersed in these places allows me to pay close attention to their unique nature and to connect with the natural rhythms and energies of the environment.

“Being quiet and present in the landscape gives me the opportunity to observe the chance moments nature throws; the awe-inspiring sunrise and sunsets, in the deep of night the bioluminescence dancing on the Tasman Sea, the full moon and ethereal sun-bleached days. In awe, I marvel at constant landmarks found in my times here; the reefs, familiar rock formations, headlands I know by heart, the mystery of deep rock pools, drifts of shells that hug the east coastline and reefs of Lutruwita, vast sand dunes, the lush bush alive with native bees and butterflies; the winding paths that take me through these once wild places.”
