Aligned
130 x 90 cm

This landscape
based work looks at duality – feast and famine…with the shapes coming
aerial views of the old farm paddocks, the fruit trees growing in line,
and the water holes marked in.

Black
& White Dress I
130
x 90 cm
Acrylic on Canvas |
This quirky
contemporary dress image is superimposed over a richly decorative textile
derived background. It is evocative of memory and sense of place. The
loose red square is the window to this world. |
 |
Black &
White Dress II
130 x 90 cm
Acrylic on Canvas |
This empty black and white spotted dress is the second in
the series. The black ribbon network in the background, and the aged
colour on the surface evokes notions of times past. |
 |
Body Adorned
130 x 90 cm
Acrylic on Canvas |
This complementary coloured and decorative work places the
female figure against a rich background of textile related roses and is
embellished with a tattoo like gold patterning over the bodies surface.
It is the last piece done for this exhibition, with many other works
alluding to the female form, but this is the first to actually use one.
