Balcony of Daydreams. 6 panels complete, 2009
Gouache, inks, conte, acrylic, collage, on paper.
65x 8 metres, comprising 6 panels.
The six panels placed together and shown in the exhibition Survey Thirteen at Adelaide Central Gallery at Norwood 2009. The artistic intention was that the work would be viewed and "read" from left to right. One would follow the aged balcony that forms the trajectory flowing through the rooms - sometimes as a shadow.. as a collective memory.
Interior, The Cedars., 2009
Drawing on Canson paper
110x50
Interior space is my favorite subject and the Heysen Prize this year was about interpretation of place. The house that belongs to Hans Heysen family in Hahndorf was the subject I chose, a place to wander the trajectory through each room, the journey of a memory of a great artist. It flows through into a diptych. Was included in the finalist exhibition an then Sold.

Liminal No 1, 2009
Gouache, inks, conte, acrylic, collage, on pressure mounted paper.
85x106cm framed
[Purchase for $1200]
Diary note: I had a look at the design / buildings of the architect Richard Rogers. He designed an unusual inside out exo skeletal building known as the Pompadou Centre in Paris. More recently he designed the Lloyds Building in London, his architectural design is for the user to have more space inside... not taken up with lifts and stairs in the central parts of the building but they form part of the outside walls instead. The outcome is that the building appear machine like. Framed

Panel no 1. Balcony of Daydreams. Carrick Hill. , 2009
Gouache, inks, conte, acrylic, collage, on pressure mounted paper.
65x 8 metres, comprising 6 panels.
Balcony of Daydreams was a major studio work as part of my Degree based on an Adelaide mansion: Carrick Hill at Springfield. The interior space has rich layers of history as it houses an interior balcony and stairways that dates back to fourteenth century England. Again my work is a journey with interior space. The balcony and its shadow allow the viewer to move in a vertiginous manner along its great expanse, visiting the various rooms which trails the length of the work.
