The idea of the body and its connection to the earth is a recurring
subject in Judy Watson’s work. Here, Watson combines three
distinct motifs that explore the body and emotion through the
terrain of her ancestral homeland, depicting the land from an
aerial perspective to create a typographical map of country.
