pastel, hahnemuhle paper-1í2x76cm – 2001

I am fascinated with light and colour, inner glowing illumination and vibrating hues. I love the drama created by the intersection and convergence of these elements. Through the hand layering of the pigment onto the paper, a surface gradually forms. A surface that simultaneously materialises and dissolves. A surface which challenges and invites the viewer t enter a space that is both other and yeet somehow familiar.

There is a sense of lightness of being as the two curved forms float in the background of an infinite space. Only a small section is revealed, suggesting something much larger and monumental. Evoking boundaries and openings, containment and enclosure. The image is an invitation for contemplation and a surrender to experience and feel into the forms

I’m happy to participate in this group show at West End Art Space in Melbourne. These are earlier pieces, when I was exploring the nuances of working with black and white, with acrylic on paper and canvas. Hope you can make it to the show.

These three small paintings were part of the group show. Hope you can make it to the show.
