A Beautiful Life

Caitlyn Davies-Plummer

Size: 120 x 75cm (framed in Australian Oak)

The Story: Caitlyn is a proud Barkindji woman living on Kaurna Country in Adelaide. This painting was created in the days after the completion of Caitlyn’s master’s degree. It captures an element of chaos, whilst also managing to represent the vibrancy and the colour Caitlyn was feeling upon completing such a long journey. The negative space is representative of Caitlyn’s feelings of being able to breathe and have space from the chaos of the previous 4 years. Caitlyn has used patterns, symbols and landscapes that remind her of the Broken Hill region, as this was and will always be her safe, calm place.
