"I will Take You there" explores the concepts of spatiality and temporality and also the idea of perception and how this affects my view of the world. Having spent large amounts of time in different countries as a child and teenager, and returning to Australia as a young adult has led me to question both my identity and how it has been constructed. In this work, I take a look at my history and present-day experiences as a starting point to refer to painting as a practice that connects the space between my multiplicities. At the center of the painting lies the fire, light, warm and comforting to the figures. Many of my memories in Australia come from times sitting near the fire, feeling the night air and smoke and the beauty of the natural world. Leaving the time for the atmosphere to be created in this artwork was an imperative thread because it allowed a lot of intuitive ideas and feelings to resurface.
