Ebb and Flow

This piece was inspired by a photo of little rock pools at the Domain. There’s something intriguing about rock pools, and I’m fascinated by their incredible diversity. Their contours and depths are all so different with little nooks and crannies for creatures to live in.

I have re created the beauty of this rock pool that I stumbled across with the water lapping at it’s edges, alive with the movement from the tide washing in and receding out. The people who are facing away from each other are both in a foetal like position and have somewhat blended into the rock pool. They are akin to the limpets on the rocks waiting for the tide or sheltering themselves from the external elements.

This drawing speaks of time, healing and growth where something that is lost can be found again with the next rising of the tide.

Art has always been a part of my life, from sketching in my text books to covering my school diaries in elaborate designs. I've always been perfecting my craft with hours of line work and shade and have always preferred to learn and understand life through pictures rather than words.​Exploring life and afar through my Art has enabled me to see beyond the "norm" and access a different knowledge that doesn't reside in the conscious mind. My works could be described as spiritual, although I tend to view them as "mindscapes". A journey into unknown realms that I link with real life concepts or life teachings.​Each work has a meaning or teaching that has differing symbols entwined in the image that is layered and read like a puzzle. I always strive to find balance in my work and give meaningful energy to the subjects I portray.  These extraordinarily fine detailed drawings start with an original “idea” and then my intuition guides me throughout the journey of the piece. Often taking months to complete, each meticulous drawing then reveals itself with numerous symbols uncovered within the drawing. My works invite the viewer to interpret each drawing as to what is relevant to their own memories and feelings. With no right or wrong interpretation, the viewer will ultimately uncover the deeper meanings through correlations with their own lives.
