Hyam Beach Looking South by Jennifer Baird

Artist Statement

‘I’ve been kind of fascinated with Hyams Beach for some time now. It has been the simple composition, simple colours and shapes. Only recently have a discovered the geography of Jervis Bay, or Booderee ‘Bay of Plenty’ in Dhurga language. It has two arms reaching out into the Tasman Sea, giving anyone in this beautiful Bay a nice big hug.’
