About the Artwork
Pepper is old and I am young. She and I go walking together. Lingering by the sheoaks and gums, she watches the pademelons. Waiting for her, I hum to myself and notice the scent of petrichor rising from the soil. The precursor to rain is one of my favourite smells. We turn our faces into the breeze and inhale the salty ocean air. I have a lot to learn from her.
