"Daws has travelled extensively throughout Northern Australia where he was impressed by the eroded desert which through time and the elements has been stripped back to the bone to reveal 'the anatomy of the landscape'. Red Desert (c.1970) is based on the landscape in the region of Pine Creek in the Northern Territory." (excerpt, p. 41)
