Although I was terribly busy this Summer in Sydney, I eventually got around to do a gallery stroll in Sydney’s arts hub, Danks Street in Waterloo. After all, March is Art Month 2013.
Opening: Friday March 8, 6pm.

Forest requiem, 2013 5 to 23 March 2013 Helen Mueller For quite some time now, I have been captivated by water. It is my muse and hunting ground for inspiration. I am a kayaker and love to glide silently across an inky sea. My gaze has wandered over time, from the surface to the deep, from what I know to what I don’t. Here below it is always mysterious and never predictable: sometimes it brings piercing clarity, other times murky darkness.

 

Dominik comes from Cologne, Germany, and is here to stay.
