Top End Mangroves is an ode to the extensive mangrove coastline around Darwin in the Northern Territory. Strocchi records the landscape that is, through being filled with life, imbued with a sense of abundant activity. Her colour palette is restrained but there is a lot going on under the surface. There is a musicality to this work with an almost tangible rhythm and playful sense of movement that is achieved by a flat view denying perspective, grid patterns and repetition of the several graphic elements. There remains a sense of vast space which captures the endless horizon of Australia’s coastlines.
