To celebrate Araluen’s 40th anniversary Kim Mahood was invited to undertake an artist in residence on the Araluen precinct in the newly renovated art studio.

Across seven weeks Kim continued her deep connection to Central Australia and immersed herself in the Country surrounding Mparntwe/Alice Springs and responded to it through this series of evocative drawings.

Kim allowed herself to stop, look, and listen and realised this 360 degree view of the Country that surrounds us.
