FROM A DISTANCE my paintings echo the abstract dimensions of landscape – large forms may well be hills, bushes, trees, rocks, vines humped over sticks … OBSERVED CLOSELY the work invites a Zen meditation akin to Haiku poetry, smells, sound, alchemy and magic - where intricate multi-layered organisms flicker in fields of translucent glazes and Figurative Abstraction, and memories trigger deep responses to the natural world

VERSO (BACK OF PAINTING): The front surfaces and sides of all my paintings are perfect, varnished and impeccable. The back surfaces (verso) reveal their Australian history through forgivable peculiarities and hints – patches of gold leaf over old titles … paint and minor marks … gathered as they travelled from bush sites and city studios to major Exhibitions, Art Museums and Public Art Galleries
