Extract from an interview with David Antony Clark on the release of Australia Beyond the Dreamtime:

Q: What were your impressions of Australia's Northern Territory?

David: It was quite unlike anything I could have expected or imagined; the barrenness, the dryness of the landscape, the gigantic termite mounds like strange architectural structures on the landscape. The land is so worn, so ancient.

At night the noise of wildlife was amazing - like a sensual fiesta, the ears, the eyes, the nose all going at once ...

The Aboriginal art of Australia is amongst the world's oldest at least 40,000 years. Ubir, one of the areas that I visited, has been continually inhabited for at least fifty thousand years, and yet has been so little altered by its inhabitants ...

Through 'Australia Beyond the Dreamtime' I have tried to capture the feeling of the place, and to represent the ancient presence of humans in an impressionistic way. It's my tribute to the human spirit.
