Exhi­bi­tion title: Nat­ural Instincts

.

Artist State­ment Accom­pa­ny­ing the Exhi­bi­tion: 2007

The nat­ural world is what con­tin­ues to inspire me. Pat­terns in the bark of a tree, fine tapes­tries of veins left in dried-up leaves, reflec­tions of clouds as a storm rolls across the ocean and coloured sands in the desert become fil­tered inscrip­tions on my canvases.

While I paint I rely on these inspi­ra­tions as well as my own nat­ural instincts. I fol­low a process where I intu­itively trust what mark to make next with my brush or palette knife.

From the olive greens of the melaleuca scrub to the red dirt of south-western Aus­tralia, these paint­ings, in both the mak­ing and the view­ing, offer an oppor­tu­nity for explo­ration and a place for play­ful­ness and imagination.
