Waterfall at Night

One of the natural forces that defines Sandbeach country is the monsoonal rain that occurs during the wet season from February to April each year. The build-up of humidity before the rain falls is palpable and the downpour itself has a blanketing volume that drowns the landscape. These enveloping climatic conditions impact substantially on human moods and activity. In North Queensland legend, those not used to the conditions are prone to go ‘troppo’, or in other words, mad. Rosella Namok’s rain series captures the psychological impact of a downpour, with a sense of mood ranging from a lyrical screen of moisture to a dense atmosphere. In this painting Rosella, instead, depicts the water as it falls fast over the rockface of a waterfall at night.
