"A Time to Return" by Jenny Gore.
Enamel on copper, gold and silver foils; 100mm x 100mm.
The rock shape in foreground was left bare, showing how
the base colors have influenced the foils.  The foil shapes
were all scrap leftovers, which became two famous
Australian icons when combined on this piece.
