Banksia Walk At Point Lonsdale

In Banksia Walk at Point Lonsdale, Amy Wright expands her distinctive botanical lens to a monumental scale, allowing her expressive mark-making to unfurl across the canvas with newfound rhythm and depth. The unusually large format invites full immersion into her layered world—where native flora, shifting light, and atmospheric color collapse into something between memory and sensation.

Wright’s approach to landscape resists strict documentation; instead, she filters place through emotion and movement. In this work, the familiar banksias of the Victorian coastline become gestural forms that echo wind, distance, and time. Color pulses across the surface in earthy reds, oceanic greens, and soft ochres, grounding the viewer while also suggesting the ephemeral—moments caught just before they fade. It's a painting that doesn’t just represent a walk, but re-creates the feeling of having been there, long after the path has ended.
