Zeuber I – waves in the dark morning
In the early light of the morning as the dinghy skims across the water, the waves and their patterns shimmer in sharp triangular contrast to one another. I never get sick of looking at the ocean as each time of the morning, the waves are slightly different depending on the light, wind and when the sunrises. These beautiful effects shapes and colours have always mesmerized me. As you get into more shallow water the patterns from the sea floor are reflected up. These are the patterns I have carved. Each wave, each morning, each new pattern shows the changing of time.

I am currently working as a member of Erub Arts based at the Erub (Darnley Island) art centre. I began my artistic journey in 2003 when I had the opportunity to work with the ‘Green Turtle Dreaming’ project. I am interested in expressing my relationship with the sea and am currently exploring the links between people’s surroundings, objects and our culture. Sea creatures have always been part of my heritage. I love their graceful beauty and the environment from which they come. Since I was a small girl, I learned to hunt and eat these things as part of my culture.
