Keepsake

The Tarkine (Indigenous name: takayna), is an area containing the Savage River National Park in North West Tasmania. My arts practice is about exploring the ancient mysteries of this ethereal place, a wilderness where natures balance teeters in-between the harsh impenetrable and the serene; a haunting landscape cloaked in blankets of fog and majestic skylines. The allure of an enigmatic presence and breathtaking moments are forever captured in our memories long after time and place have moved on.

My practice is about exploring the mysteries of natural places, of hidden seclusion and renewal. There is a certain clarity being in the landscape, a desire to interpret and listen to the changes in nature, to feel the seasons, the time and temperature of the day, to watch the water flow knowing that this view will never resonate the same way again. Working with mixed media also shapes my interpretation and becomes an integral part of the work. I work mainly with oil paints that can be applied thickly or thinly building up layers towards a fuller varied surface then scrapping back and being reworked as I search for new possibilities within the work.
