Double Drummer Cicadas dance across the the paper, winding their way amongst Banksias in full bloom. Immediately we are transported to the sound of high summer: warm drawn out evenings underscored by their rhythmic hum. Yet, despite the realism contained in the foreground, the work’s depth has been contained. Rather than billowing out towards a horizon, our gaze remains fixed on the foreground. Abstracted silhouettes of Banksia limbs informed by a minimal use of line and negative space frame the hyper real activity before us. By straddling the realms of abstraction and realism, West has successfully positioned us high up in the canopy, immersed within the life of the tree.
