My Country invites the viewer to read the multiple layers of identity and connection to country. Bot unusual and innovative, it embodies a dynamic use of colour. With wonderful energy and a sense of movement and freedom, My Country depicts a deep and layered understanding of country, evoking a sense of land and sky. It is a very personal interpretation of Rosie's country, identifying where she comes from. Rosie has tagged the landscape with her initial which is ironic, marking the landscape with her anglicised given name as well as her ancestral sites. The many layers of paint, representing layers of time, reference her identity and deep connection to country.
