In his work, Ross Laurie takes you back again and again to his land in Walcha on the New England tablelands, urging that you engage as freshly as he does each time he paints it. He writes “The country here is home, in a spiritual sense”, and we feel it. These are depictions of moments in a place he has known and loved all his life, perhaps without even being aware himself how deeply.
