Dean Reilly
Welcome to my portfolio. I am an artist working from the embrace of the Glass House Mountains, ancient, untameable sentinels that shape how I see and what I create. This raw, powerful landscape fuels my exploration of the infinite field: a space without borders, where no single voice or perspective holds dominance. My work sits in the tension between inner and outer worlds, between beauty and fracture, questioning the stories we inherit, both personal and collective. Identity, for me, is not fixed. It’s a shifting ground shaped by memory, culture, history, and place, whether that’s the self, society, or the idea of nation. My art pushes against the narrowing grip of logic and inherited myth, seeking instead the messy, vibrant truth of who we really are. We are not one neat nation. We are many voices, many histories. We are Country, and in that deeper truth, my art begins.
