The landscape tradition features widely through the Geelong Gallery collection and this contemporary work merges aspects of an historical approach to landscape painting with imagery that suggests the contemporary digital age.

Referencing Albert Bierstadt's The Morteratsch Glacier (1895), Daverington seeks to emphasise how the natural landscape exists as an idea, which was in part used to promote European immigration to the New World of the Americas and Australasia. This painting proposes that the "New Frontier" is the digital space of technology which is depicted as rising from below the natural landscape.
