Just Before Dawn
2018Overview
On a moonlit night bushranger Frank Thomas' father hung up a leg of mutton (meat) in his shed. He knew Frank was nearby and thought he would attempt to steal it... as Frank so often rose to the challenge of any bait laid out to capture him. Frank's father kept watch all night but near dawn he dozed off for just a moment. When he awoke, the mutton was gone. The pink represents an unspoken energy; care but also tension between Frank and his father.
