​Following her residency at 24HR Art in Darwin, Kate Shaw presented Drifter at Ryan Renshaw Gallery in Brisbane, a body of work that carried the visual and conceptual imprints of her time in the Northern Territory. Immersed in the region’s unique light, colours, and sense of remoteness, Shaw absorbed the shifting tones of tropical skies, tidal flats, and monsoonal storms. These atmospheric qualities translated into paintings where poured acrylics, iridescent pigments, and resin captured the fluid transitions between land, water, and air, evoking both the physical environment and the dreamlike impressions it left behind.
