My works arise out of a need to express 'things on my mind' and an accompanying desire to manufacture a physical resolution to them.
The process, the research and the pondering, the mark-making are personal. The final pieces carry sensory overlays that shield my process and render them accessible to others.
The materials, including found objects I utilise, usually have a strong resonance of country for me. A resonance that reconnects and grounds me.
Statement.
These two works, 'Seven Sisters Tracks', are inspired by the Matariki and Puanga season here in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Born and raised in NSW I am constantly intrigued by the truly ancient Aboriginal cultures of Australia and one of their common stories reveals the tracks and pathways of the Seven Sisters, (Pleiades) as they traverse the land and sky country to escape their pursuer (Orion).
Nature has provided me with these two pieces of Sydney Bluegum bark with the tracks left by borer beetles.
