The Snake

60 x 91cm
The Snake is a piece created by Grace Naveikata and is reflective of the inspiration that comes from living in Meanjin/Brisbane. When reflecting on the word “resource”, Naveikata realised that the river that runs through the city of Brisbane has always been a form of inspiration. The winding line across the piece is representative of the Brisbane River, a place that has personally been the fuel for creative inspiration for the artist. Historically, Maiwar, the Brisbane River is highly significant to the social and Cultural background of the identity of the city of Brisbane and has been a subject for many artists creatively over the years. Audiences are invited to view the work and reflect on what inspires them creatively and observe how their surroundings are influential in their own personal or creative lives.
