Linear Park is located along Kaurna land on the fringes of Adelaide, South Australia, where the trees and water courses form an oasis within suburbia. The textures, sounds and patterns reveal glimpses of untold stories, which can almost be read as the pages of a book – The Arcane Scriptures. It cannot be contained, although the ever-present threat of development looks to control and ultimately divide regions into neat little boxes.

Synthesis is a uniquely transformable quadriptych painting (4 panels) inspired by an Australian landscape. In this first form (Form 1) the central, native flora-motif emerge from twisted contours of ancient gumtrees. As the leaves and flowers intermingle life begins to flourish beyond the muted tones. Revealed is an analysis of life, death and rebirth via the natural world.

Elements is inspired by a microcosm of luminous colour and diverse textures. A reflection of the abundant riches that can be found within the natural wilderness from impenetrable pillars of solid rock to powerful waterfalls flowing from icy mountain ranges.

‘Bloom’ is an interpretation of healing. In this painting I wanted to encapsulate a restorative pathway. The underlying forms are intentionally ambiguous, although the intention was to translate a sense of restriction from either a physical or psychological state. These contorted and seemingly insidious apparitions merge out of the canvas then twist, snake and distort like gnarled tree limbs towards the edges. My deliberately expressive interpretation, loose brushstrokes and dichotomy of colour emphasize tension. Bursting from within are the wings of butterflies, interwoven and extending across the composition. These are presented as an aura of hope, a transformative and healing presence in times of desperation.

This work is one of two consecutively painted self-portraits, each representing a different emotive state. Both paintings evolved from a sketching process where the aspiration to produce contrasting results was a motivator. The intent behind ‘The Impostor’ was to create a projected amalgam between persona and artistic practice. Ghost like shapes and golden colours are a direct connection to a painting process and the flows of paint that form within a palette when in the state of creation. These swirls have been entwined to shape flesh, skin and blood where it remains unclear whether the paint forms a portrait or the portrait defines the almost burning celluloid surrounds - a creator hidden behind paint and camouflaged.
The Impostor is now available exclusively as part of the Acoufelt Art Project. You can own a high quality reproduction of this work printed on acoustic material for sound reduction in living and work spaces. Enjoy art in absolute peace and quiet!

A self-portrait was a means to delve further into the inner workings as an artist. As a result, the chosen interpretation is a dichotomy of style and psyche. BRUTAL evolved from several frustrated sketching sessions and is an uncompromising projection of that process in paint. Deliberately chosen lurid colours punch through the black conjuring a reflection, similar to looking into the screen of a device. It evokes the experiences of inner turmoil and doubt that are experienced when painting a new work while the underlying subtext explores a perceived fading of traditional art in a future digital, AI world.
