My art is… according to an 8 year-old kid today, “like a rainbow that just exploded all it’s colour.” But also, about opening up the visual experience, dried bubbles of lush colour and light to gorge the eyes on, maps of movement, traces of activity.
I use… strictly red, yellow and blue watercolour paint and 10m rolls of the thickest paper, water and takeaway containers.
When I work I… get in the zone, dance around, abide by a very methodical process, watch paint dry for hours and get really obsessed.
Perth’s not so bad because… there’s lots and lots of love
Over the next year I’m… uh, moving to do my Honours year in an even more incestuous place, on the pubic isle of Tasmania. I feel pretty sheepish saying that after the Perth question!
I think that… the more you look the more you see, weeeee!
Current show;
Rounds is an exhibition of large-scale watercolour paintings which present the viewer with an opportunity for pure, experiential looking.
Circular pools of liquid colour sit on the surface of the paper. Patterns and languages of colour and light are formed as the liquid dries, and the resulting Rounds are traces of this slow, fragile and quiet process of activity. Small reservoirs, ponds of light.
The exhibition willl be open daily from 12-5.
