Roots of the Infinite Sky explores the
connections between the natural world, the cosmos, and the interior landscapes of the mind. Angela McQuillan draws inspiration from the rhythmic geometry of
Australian Aboriginal dot paintings, where intricate patterns carry both story and spirit.
In these works, mountains glow with memory, rivers of color echo shifting thought patterns, and stars reflect the structures of living cells, revealing
landscapes that are both physical and spiritual. This series evokes a place where earth, sky and body share the same luminous pulse.
