The Back of Beyonce
We have a uniquely Australian saying to describe the outback, or the inland of Australia: The Back of Beyond. A mysterious and remote desert area that is still sometimes nostalgically remembered as The Never Never. I spent some time out there years ago and have always been struck by how sensual the Australian landscape is - especially out The Back of Beyond. I'd been wanting to paint an Australian landscape for some time, and while sketching out some rock formations they began to take on a female form. From there, especially with the play on words, it was a pretty easy jump for The Back of Beyond to become The Back of Beyonce.
