Murray Art Museum Albury
Underpinned by the central theme Solas (Gaelic for light) these works are deeply personal delving into places where art, nature and healing intersect. Influenced by the environments of North East Victoria this body of work investigates the idea of thresholds and in between spaces such as the crevices in granite rocks, the etched lines created by scribbly gum moths under the bark of gum trees and the fine spider web like mycorrhizal fungi that penetrates the soil. The works explore the notion of transience, liminal spaces and the interconnectedness of all life forms. In tandem with these states is a sense of chaos, chance and loss - the ebb and flow of the life journey we are all on.
Art Gallery on Ovens
Finestra is the Italian word for window and these works offer glimpses into my worlds both real and imagined. The works depict the landscapes of North East Victoria in macro and micro ways; they look to the vast ranges and plains as much as to the cracks between granite and the carvings of scribbly gum moths, often layering this imagery in a single painting. My interest is not in a visual representation of the landscape but in deep contemplation and distillation of the emotions and feelings of a place. My landscapes are reflections of my inner world rather than references to a specific place and are deeply personal delving into the places where art, nature and healing intersect.
