Sam Vatovey | Mount Emu Walk | 2025 | oil paint, oil stick and spray paint | 120 x 150cm

Walking up Emu Mountain in the Wallum. I move through the bushland without conscious thought. My vision takes in various perspectives from looking down at the ground to looking up to the sky. These many disparate viewpoints combine to convey a personal and subjective experience of the walk.
