After more than a decade away from the subject of landscape, artist Julian Meagher has returned with renewed vitality, inspired by becoming a parent and cognisance of the relationship between First Nations peoples and the land he was appreciating on a recent residency. Meagher’s feelings for the Bithry Inlet were enriched by a moment he shared with a visually impaired student who painted the place from memory, prompting the artist to approach his own practice with greater intuition.
