I am an artist of the landscape of common objects. Discarded items and suburban life fuel my art practice.

Drawings 28 October

I’m having one of those life getting in the way of life moments. It’s taking some time to catch up on what I’ve been doing (not much) lately.

Here are two blind drawings done in my garden a few weeks ago.

Composite

I’ve always been captivated by David Hockney’s photograpic collages, starting with Pearblossom Highway, 11th-18th April, 1986.

Mine still have a way to go. Here is my first attempt with the new footbridge being built across Drakeford Drive.

Painting Shadows

The shadow theme that I started as a textile group project has really taken hold. Here is a composite of 6 gouaches I’ve done using shadows I’ve collected, predominantly around my house. The lower right image was from a visit to the CSIRO Discovery Centre.

A4 Project #6 8 October

This work was inspired by the work of Junko Oki, a Japanese artist who does beautiful work in stitch. I was hoping to find some red fabric to add to the side of this piece, when I decided that I could add the colour through embroidery.
