The title of this piece The river is in reference to Bovill’s grandmother Bev who recently passed away. Bev lived in Echuca for the majority of Bovill’s childhood and took Bovill, her siblings and cousins down to swim along the banks of the Murray River regularly. Connecting to land is something Bev instilled in Bovill throughout her childhood. This painting is an abstraction of the flora found along the banks of the Murray river. It is a reflection of Bovill’s gratefulness for her grandmothers teachings, amongst a journey of grief - a final thanks to Bev.
