'Above - Country' tryptich 2008 |
'Above - Clouds' 2008 In 2008 I returned to a much loved theme; the view from above. Perhaps its because I flew across the continent 3 times that year and the experience of seeing this country from above always has profound impact. Spending time high up in the Macdonnell Ranges on the Larapinta Trail has also informed this work. |

Painting with ochre In the past year I have found great satisfaction gathering ochre, grinding it and painting with it in the environment. Sources of ochre are not easily located, as its not appropriate or legal to take it from National Parks or Aboriginal owned land, but I am developing an eye for it, finding it in roadside cuttings and wash-aways. And though its not always possible to paint right where I find it I try to work in the same area, au plein air, on large sheets of paper or canvas, generally with a calligraphy brush on a long stick so I can move freely, 'dance' with the landscape.

'Wind in Mulga' tRust 2005 - tRust
is a continuing exploration of disintegrating vehicles found abandoned
in regional and remote locations in NT, SA and NSW. They are large photographic macro images of surface detail. These abstractions conjure up landscape, mirroring the cars
location on a subtle level. |
