Field Of Dreams

Field of Dreams

Near Cranbrook, Western Australia

Captured at the height of summer near Cranbrook in the central Wheatbelt, Field of Dreams reveals the rich colours and painterly textures that appear when salt lakes are left to dry and evolve. The seasonal heat pulls water from the surface, leaving behind mineral patterns that create bold pinks, soft creams and deep earthy ochres. It is one of those landscapes that transforms quietly, but when it does, it feels like nature has stepped into the abstract.

The colours were at their strongest during this visit. Long stretches of warmth had settled over the area, and the lake had reached that perfect point where surface tension, salt and colour aligned. There was no need to force anything, the scene had already arranged itself. That timing, knowing when to visit, is everything in places like this.

This part of the Wheatbelt has a unique energy. It can feel vast and exposed, but it also holds detail and rhythm that only reveal themselves when viewed from above. It is a place of colour, contrast and quiet movement, and this image is a reflection of all three.

Field of Dreams is part of the International Print Series, which focuses on natural forms that speak through shape and tone. If you are curious about the wider region, you can explore nearby landscapes through Australia’s South West.

Printed on museum-grade archival materials and available in a range of sizes, this piece brings warmth and texture into any space, with just enough abstraction to make people stop and look twice.
