Artwork Description

My work is focused on the relationship of people with each other and their environments.
Here people wonder and reflect on movements, the to and fro of the unusual vessels carrying the unknown. Are they arriving or passing through? The pier voyeurs, they contemplate these journeys.
I work on 20 – 30 works at once, with the layers taking hours to build up and “germinate” for the direction or journey the particular work will take.
Text adds to the subtext of the work acting as a springboard for the viewer’s unique response. I am interested in the shape and feel of the shapes portrayed.
My slow process of layering mixed media and text echoes our many layers of history.
This work was selected for the M Collection 2014 Gallery Smith, North Melbourne, Vic
