The Mountain and The Flower – Matt Shanks’ Shop

Note from the artist

I love this story. It is, by far, the work I am most proud of to date. When people read this, they say they leave the book feeling a sense of calm and peace. I hope that it brings you calm and peace, too.

The Mountain and The Flower

When the world becomes too silent to sleep, a mountain awakes to a world seemingly devoid of life. Can a mountain, given enough time, restore the world to one where life can thrive?

My deep gratitude to our traditional custodians

I have lived and worked my whole life in Gadigal and Boon Wurrung Country in what we now call Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past and present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and through my work, aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
