Bold expressions
"Beautiful nuances of light, adjoined with general gestural freedom and looseness - there is a quality of expressive line work with great colour usage". A judges comment on 'Enclosed within' which received a Highly Commended award for the Art Society of Tasmania's 137th Annual Exhibition
Working in a larger format on a wall allows use of my whole body to create gestural lines and marks. As usual I build up lots of layers of subtle lines and marks using a pre-determined limited palette. I work with a vague structure to get started. Oil sticks predominate, but crayons, oil pastels, oil paint with cold wax medium are also used.
I feel with this series I am finally able to paint completely intuitively. I love the process and the final work.
Never together Together at last Within the bounds Enclosed within Enclosed without Enclosed without Lost in the path Uprising Fury Ingress to another world Twists and turns Bridging the gap Magenta can dance Passing through Crazy rhythm Let the sun shine in Inferno Me and my shadow Tangerine Last dance On my own Yellow is me At the raspberry farm Yellow is why After the raspberry farm Kindling the flame Into the flame Singing the path Conspire Engulfed Finding the path Terra 1 Terra 2
