Camp Out by Alan Collins
My design is about a person out camping in desert Country, and the things that they would bring with them on their journey. The billy can is shown here as well as a fireplace and rolled out swag to lay. Beside him is also a car which he fixes along the way. My design is inspired from travelling long distances by car with my family and relatives to sacred sites, and at the end of the day enjoying a nice warm tea on the fire at sunset. We gather around the crackling fire, enjoying the smell of roasting goanna or kangaroo on the cookup, always with a cup of tea. This artwork brings me joy, from the calm found in the silent desert and the sounds of night owls.
