Artwork Description

Flight was a finalist in the Wyndham Art Prize 2022.

Flight follows my captivation with lines building up form over time. On this occasion the painting is overlaid with longer lines over linework that appears like symbols. The overall effect is an earthy yellow ochre. The title is whimsical, not representational.

Artist Bio

I am a visual artist with a hidden disability. I mainly paint in oil on canvas. My works celebrate the process of painting, embracing changes, accidents, and discoveries made along the way. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in lines in artwork. This interest has distilled to a point where I am painting only in lines. Lines come in many forms‚ the brush stoke‚ the mark‚ calligraphy. I love the way the patterns of lines build up‚ they merge from fields into traces of energy. I am interested in the harmonies and the joining of form and the different scales at which the lines form pattern.
