Fine Art Print - Marsupial Stare

Drawn from the wild edges of Tasmania, this original artwork begins with a photograph captured by the artist—an image of a kangaroo encountered in the bushland near Hobart. Calm and composed, the creature meets the viewer’s gaze with quiet curiosity, as though untroubled by the presence of the lens.

Layered over this moment of stillness are fluid, sinuous lines—digitally inscribed like whispers of thought or memory. These marks form a second skin to the image, inviting a sense of movement and mystery. The result is a visual meditation that drifts between abstract expressionism and surrealism, reframing the scene through the lens of our own perception. The meandering linework becomes a metaphor for the mind’s restless interpretation of the world it sees.

Printed in an intimate edition of just thirty, each piece is hand-signed and numbered by the artist. Created in the artist’s studio using archival pigment inks on fine cotton rag paper, this work honours the tradition of printmaking—personal, direct, and rooted in craftsmanship.
