Surveying the Land at Sunset and Dusk is a rhythmic meditation on place, labour, and light. Using industrial mesh, survey-line graphics, ochre pigments, and dot-grid mapping systems, the work reimagines the act of surveying not as extraction or boundary-making, but as a sensory experience tied to country and time of day.

Each framed panel reads like a fragment of horizon: bands of sunset colour shift from soft yellows and pinks to deep reds, oranges, and indigos. Over these glowing strata, the fine mesh material creates a subtle parallax, echoing the grids and screens used in industrial mapping. Linear overlays recall topographical lines, architectural plotting, and geological cross-sections, turning technical language into visual poetics.

The dot grids refer to both surveying markers and the broader tradition of marking landscape through repeated gesture. Together, these elements hold tension between industry and atmosphere, measuring and feeling. Viewed as a sequence, the work becomes a slow fade tracing the heat of late afternoon, the settling calm of dusk, and the enduring presence of land beneath all systems laid upon it.
