Text Box: HOMEWARD-BOUND BEFORE THE STORM
Louisiades Archipelago, Papua New Guinea
66 x 92 cm / 26” x 36” Acrylics on Canvas

Text Box: Canoes are part of the tradition and art of all the islands, and there are plenty of variations. Here, a large Louisiades sailing canoe of a design hundreds of years old speeds along the shoreline, a family returning from a visit to an island forty kilometres away, hurrying to get home before the storm breaks.
