The Fence. Strange Parallels (M)

I've always found life in the rural parts of this country intriguing, there seems to be a strange balance held between cultivated and uncultivated land. The farm and the bush sit across from each other in this painting, dogs bark at dingos, kangaroos stare at the big cows across the way, all seek food, water and shade on the other side of the fence. I wonder if these animals look at each other like this? or maybe its just me looking at them in their strangely mirrored lives.

I find that my art enables me to express elements of my world that can't necessarily be seen by the naked eye, its an attempt at conveying something a bit intangible. Abstraction is the primary way I communicate my ideas and experiences in art.
The naive and somewhat primitive lines, shapes, colours and textures I use are my attempt at capturing the atmosphere, personality or feeling of a place or person I have encountered in my life, realism or a photograph in my opinion doesn't always capture these elements of the world.
I feel that my art brings these to the surface...it shows the soul of something, somewhere, or someone. Perhaps you will see someone you know within my strange works, maybe even yourself.
