What is this painting about?
This painting continues in my exploring tiny fragments and patterns of life. At a microscopic level, I am inspired by the vastness and sublime of the minutiae of life. Those kind of universal forms that often stop us in our tracks in awe of their magnificence.
The organic cellular cluster motifs I often use allude to the pulsating patterns of natural forms growing and the fundamental building blocks of life.
Although the work alludes to familiar elements of the natural world, I intentionally make the symbols ambiguous, not distinctly one nameable thing. Cell growth, rock pools, reptile skins even bubbles, I love the varied responses to the work. The images suggest real things and therefore act more powerfully as memory triggers for recollections and reminiscences that reference our place in the fragile natural world.
I have had several successful gallery exhibitions and received some acclaim as an emerging modern artist. My artworks are well received and enjoyed by audiences around the world. David Thomas in his essay on my artwork describes my paintings as ‘seriously considered works of technical and creative assurance.’ I aspire to make beautiful original artworks from my studio in Melbourne, Australia.
