Between white hot sunlight and a long dark shadow is a bikini body on the beach. Amid contemporary discussions of ecological collapse, how this body might be inhabited, felt and more strangely entangled in this natural environment necessitates new approaches to its painterly depiction. In this new body of works, relationships between the Australian coastline and the familiar ‘bather’ of romantic landscape painting and are revealed in strange new lights.
