Treated Plaster. @ 1 metre length. 2005.
The ‘pea’ is actually the size of a small basketball. This was made after my uni studies were completed.
It was sold shortly after making it.
THE PARTY (SERIES OF TWO)
Top & Bottom: . Ink and watercolour on acid free card. 2006
I went to two parties in one day. The top one is the first one I went to, then the bottom one
was at night when I arrived there. Two very different parties. The top party was full of family and children
and gays and straights, and puppy dogs and heaps of babies and children getting lost in the crowd.
It was so much fun to be watching on the side.
By the time I got to the 2nd party it was late and the booze and the talking was quite
the all time low. It was all time satiety …and I wondered how it would have been if I had had these two parties’
time-switched. Probably exactly the same. Same props, different actors.
All the ‘sane’ people had left and gone home, and the late stayers too tired to shift.
PLAY BY THE RULES
Mixed Media on canvas. 2006
This work is made of paint, plaster, cedar wood, rope,sand.
This work is a conceptual piece, telling us that time is not necessarily in our favour,
but if you play by the rules than maybe you will have a few wins along the way.
BREAKFAST SCULPTURE. CIRCA 2006
Breakfast Sculpture. Mixed Media. Circa 2006.
This work is a wall hanging. Who wouldn’t want to have a breakfast like this?
Raw bacon, green bread and butter, squashed, cooked tomato,
hard peas, and two eggs that have dripped off the plate, down the wall?
GARDEN
Pastel and Ink on acid-free paper. 2006
Over the years, my backyard garden has never remained the same.
Here is a mix of ink drawing and orange pastel.
TWO PRINTS OF THE MAKING OF THE SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE
Two linocut prints on raw canvas. 2006
I actually carved these ones at home in the interest
of doing something interesting, historically.
TURTLE TRAY
Treated Plaster. 2006
This tray is basically, my fruit tray at home. I needed something different,
as my house is very different in its decor.
KITTY KITTY
pastel on canvas, 2006
Visual narrative of Intuition.
FOCUS SERIES
Drawing on Acid- free card. September 2005
Focus Series is a conceptual set of four black and white drawings,
each of the four stages in how we assimilate information.
Focus in Perspective is the way we start to see the patterning and draw
conclusions from that information and draw a perspective on that information.
The second drawing, Focus in Objective is when we identify what we can see,
and draw it out and examine it as an object.
Focus In Subjective is where we throw it back into our brain and synthesise the
information against all other objects of information.
The compartments are where each fact is stored and the diagonal lines represent the neurons
sending and receiving information for comparison
and deduction.
The fourth drawing, Focus Introspective, (sometimes I call this drawing ‘Pumpkin Head!),
is about the processing of all the information,
melding and assimilating it back into the new patterning of inward knowledge, and becoming it.
Thus, the insatiable urge of the thirsting for knowledge.
STUDY IN PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS (SCULPTURES)
These works were a study in W.S.U. Bach Fine Arts 2005 in researching plastic shopping bags.
These works are the sculptural result. Above is the 3D sculpture, which has ‘waves’ of ‘cave rock’ where
tiny lights can be inserted into the sculpture for a decorative wall light,
and below is the Relief work- a flattened carved work.
