The Meet me at the Gate series features three drawings depicting Orotan Rock from different perspectives, located at Lilydale Station, 150 kilometres east of Burra. These works are dedicated to Colin Zanker, the Station Manager, who passed away on site during a goating operation. Colin introduced Denise to this rock during several excursions across the property while searching for goats to round up. His final words were, “Meet me at the gate”.
