Acrylic on canvas
50cm by 61cm
A sedimentation of mark making builds up material which forms a 'ground' for the painting. Using spontaneous action a sense of movement is created with a form moving across the surface of the canvas.
Bird's Eye View
Acrylic on canvas
40cm by 40cm
This was inspired by a satellite photo of Cairo and the river Nile. It caught my attention as it feeds into my interest in disruption of surface and how ‘living’ surfaces evolve and change over time. I saw the image as an ‘abstracted’ view of the surface of the earth which I have abstracted further.
Ore
Acrylic & pastel on canvas
50cm by 60cm
This work is an example of the medium leading the way. It was inspired by a photograph of Australian Iron Ore and explores colour and mark making. Using different consistencies of paint allowed for the elements of chance and uncertainty to play out.
Falling
Acrylic on canvas
50cm by 61cm
This painting explores the idea of fragments of organic material falling across the canvas and being captured for all time.
Disprupted
Acrylic on canvas
50.5cm by 61cm
This is further experimentation with fragments of material falling across the surface of the canvas. It was created using a combination of accident, chance and slow-looking.
Ice
Acrylic on canvas
45cm by 60cm
The inspiration for this painting came from some melting ice in a bucket. It is a ‘living’ surface. The colour and mark making are intended to illustrate the texture and movement of the ice as it gently melts away.
