Forces of Nature – Original

Artist: Lee Hampton

Nation/s: Wodi Wodi – Worimi – Yuin

Story: There are no forces more powerful than those of nature. This artwork represents the ever changing environment, the blue represents the powerful storms and rain that lash the land, at the other end of the scale is the soaring heat and bush fires that at times wipe the earth clean.

A single white line represents the power of lightning and its devastating affect on our landscape causing fire and destruction. Among this all, a section of green, representing the regrowth, this also represents new beginnings. This is a little like our own lives, we are pulled in many directions, we are beaten down, we make mistakes, but in the end, there is always regrowth, new beginnings, a chance to learn from what we experience and grow.
