About Me
With an interest in place and experience, my drawing practice is grounded in the personal and informed by the exploration of internal and external landscapes, and the rich legacy of Australian drawing and painting.
Sound is significant to me. The language of sound has been a useful way for me to think about, interpret and understand life. It is sound that I initially attend to on site. Focusing on the critical practice of listening, I make a blind continuous line drawing (a score) of what I hear. The initial work in reality - my field notes - are important as I begin a new body of work.
Afterwards, in the studio, I use the motifs revealed in the field notes to imagine, remember, process, play, translate, and time travel.
In 'hero-ing' the act of listening, a form of paying attention that both fixes and makes fluid, I aim for a humility in knowing or understanding experience and place. The drawings are manifestations of knowing - and not knowing - each intending to evoke a sense of something perpetually solidifying and dissolving.
