Charcoal, Gouache & Pastel on paper; Signed & Dated (*/79) lower left.
Provenance: Private Collection, Melbourne. Part of the acclaimed “Foxy Night” series, this artwork reveals Dawson’s deepening concern with land as lived experience and nocturnal transformation. Sombre tones and geometric motifs—hemispheres and criss-crossing lines—evoke moonlit bush and the unseen movements of animals, threads that metaphorically reference both the actual and cultivated complexities of rural life. The spatial ambiguity, where ground and sky meld into shifting planes, operates as a subtle metaphor for life’s flux in the bush, imbuing the work with lyricism and quiet tension.Additional image available below |
