Artist statement<br />
I work in painting, drawing and<br />
printmaking using landscapes, both<br />
natural and urban, to explore the physical<br />
spaces we inhabit, isolation and human<br />
connection to the environment and lack<br />
thereof. I explore the interaction and<br />
contrast between natural and man-made<br />
landscapes.<br />
As a starting point for this work, I<br />
took photographs of a local shopping<br />
centre and of a sports ground. I have<br />
reinterpreted these suburban spaces with<br />
abstraction and with the use of light and<br />
dark tones.<br />
Biography<br />
I’m interested in painting, drawing and<br />
printmaking. My subject matter tends to<br />
be landscapes both natural and urban. My<br />
work is small scale, A3 or smaller.<br />
I explore the contrast between natural<br />
and man-made landscapes, there<br />
interconnection and disconnection. My<br />
landscapes are without people making a<br />
statement about isolation.<br />
I’m currently working on drawings and<br />
intaglio prints based on local suburban<br />
landscapes and buildings in an abstracted<br />
manner.<br />
Currently I am studying Visual Arts at CIT,<br />
Reid Canberra.<br />
