Artwork Description

Mixed Media on wood

Signed on the front.

I respond emotively to colour, texture and the symbolism of everyday objects I find in printed media.
I chose 89 year old newspaper and modern magazines to layer the connections I feel with Australia to create my 'Ship of Dreams' series.
The artwork is circular like a port-hole, an opportunity to view and share someone else’s world.

As an island Australia began it's connection with the world through the sea.
Travel is often seen as a luxury where new cultures enamour us and countries stake a place in our hearts. It can energise and inspire us to connecting to all we hold dear.
But a journey made unwillingly severs relationships between families and 'home'. My Ship of Dream series often takes a cue from history.

This art work is on a round artist board and it is unframed. Choose a mount and frame to suit your personal tastes.
