Artist statement
Lookout! is an experiment with found objects, enamel paint, and sculptural form. Clifford Thompson enjoys both painting and sculpture for its meditative qualities – mediums through which he is able to connect with country and remember his ancestors. The various objects that make up this sculpture were salvaged from Tennant Creek, and a nearby abandoned mine.
