Familiar Current
By Tim Grey $7,800DESCRIPTION
Early light, Bulimba Reach, reflecting my life in Brisbane, shaped by big skies and the beauty of the Brisbane River. The expansive atmosphere and shifting surface speak to movement, rhythm, and continuity. A constant presence, it is a place of contemplation, exercise, and connection – embodying both personal experience and the city’s defining character.
