The painting was inspired by a tiny decorative trinket that sat among the miniature travel treasures displayed in the lounge room of Wilson’s Aunty Ruth — one of many small objects collected during her lifetime of journeys.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawn to the quiet symbolism of the object, Wilson translated the form into a minimalist watercolour study, allowing space, atmosphere and subtle washes to carry the emotional weight of the image. Muted greens, aged ochres and weathered greys suggest the passage of centuries, evoking the feeling of an artefact emerging from ancient history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe simplified hollow form of the horse sits against an atmospheric background reminiscent of worn stone walls and archaeological memory.
