'Shifting Spirit' by Bruce Peebles captures the quiet intensity and spiritual resonance of a camping experience on the shores of a Western Australian salt lake. Inspired by the ancient Aboriginal story of the Seven Sisters (the Pleiades star cluster), the work weaves together land, movement, and mythology into a layered visual narrative.
Horizontal bands of colour suggest the vast salt lake and shifting light of dusk, moving from fiery ochres and reds to cooler blues near the horizon. Within this flowing landscape, a solitary figure appears in motion, accompanied by a duplicated shadow — a subtle reference to pursuit, flight, and transformation embedded in the Seven Sisters story. The blurred presence speaks to impermanence and transition, echoing both human movement across Country and the eternal passage of stars overhead.
Peebles’ signature use of rhythm, line, and motion creates a sense of energy suspended in time, where story, memory, and place converge. 'Shifting Spirit' invites viewers to reflect on cultural depth, ancestral narratives, and our relationship with the land. Printed as a one-off edition on Chromalux aluminium and professionally framed, this work offers a rare opportunity to collect a unique expression of Bruce’s acclaimed practice.
