Brisbane, Qld
My first real commitment to art practice started at 15 years old, in a tiny darkroom at a friend’s house. Our weekends were full of taking photos, developing the film and printing - it was magic on a mega scale for us.
The art I make has taken on many forms over the past 30 years, including sculptural ceramics and painting. However, it has never deviated from my desire to express strong statements that have been pared back so as to reveal themselves simply.
Time and again I find myself captivated with patterning. If I can develop and repeat a pattern that balances itself after I have pushed it to some extreme point, and also contains layering and history of its trials, I am satisfied.
Painting for me today still inspires the same feeling of potential and discovery as it did in my early darkroom days. I never plan too much - I love to watch it develop, change and surprise me.
