I began this lastest series by photographing the environs of my new
surroundings, including images of spring buds and alien foliage in an
unfamiliar landscape. I am interested in catching quiet moments of
natural beauty which i then subjugate with mark making. Creating
moments in time that reflect a melancholic attachment to the organic
world, I investigate the formal qualities of painting utilising a process
of layering various mediums. A process that is both additive and
subtractive develops into an exploration of the relationships created
through the juxtaposition of shapes. Intuitive responses to the
images with paint, marker, bleach, heat, and resin occur in the
instance; the moment of making inspired by what is on the mind,
letting go, rebirth, love and loss, and isolation - all subjects that have
arised from moving across the pond. The titles for this series
predominately come from music listened to while working and literary
influences. Hope you enjoy.
