Even though I live in the Northern Territory, part of my heritage comes from the Torres Strait and creating this work represents my Skin\u2019s affiliations and my place there, while paying homage to my heritage. The idea is to recreate the scales of a saltwater crocodile, the flow of the water and landscape. <em>Skin<\/em> can be read as a close-up of a reptile\u2019s skin, and as a landscape both seen from a distance and as close-up details of rocks and sand.
