Andrew Highfold has spent a lot of time around Alice Springs with members of his family. In his paintings he captures features of the landscape that he has seen around there, including rocky outcrops, sandhills, river beds and creeks, depicting their physical features as they change with the seasons. He says: “Now it flows in the Wet. I’ve seen it flood four times – it really floods. In times after the rains, it can be very dry on top, but dig down and there’s the water. That’s how Aboriginal people do it, they dig down for water. When it’s dry you can really see the difference.
