The Max Gimblett Gift. Gift of the artist through the Queensland Art Gallery Foundation 2000

The ornamental paper (black flecked with white) is the ground for the floating form. This form is celestial-like and also has connotations of the Christian cross, a flag and a sail. It is related in technique to The William Gibson suite - 8 and The William Gibson suite - 6 (Gate) (Acc. nos 2000.089, 2000.090).
