About The Artwork
This work was part of the "Fragmented Values: Compulsive Lives" series which ran from 1999-2008. It examined how the growth of metropolises has impacted on family and community groups leading to relocation and a form of internal migration. The work is strongly influenced by Caravaggio and other Baroque masters, Daumier's Social Realism and C19th Romanticists such as Delacroix. The work focuses on the use of Tenebrism, Chiaroscuro, theatrical lighting and traditional oil techniques to evoke metaphysical and Surrealist qualities in a Social Realist statement. It is inspired by living on the fringe of large cities near wilderness, where inhabitants cling to traditional pass-times. This however has an impact on the wilderness with new developments.

Australia
My initial art training occurred in TAFE and Colleges of Advanced Education in Sydney, Australia the 1970s, where I was strongly influenced by Abstract Expressionism, sculptural formalism and performance-installation art. I practiced as a sculptor and performance artist until the late 80s. This was punctuated by two performances at the Cite Internationale Des Artes, Paris in 1984 courtesy of a AGNSW Moya Dyring Studio residency and an Australia Council travel grant. In the 1990s I began to paint and studied a Master of Arts at The University of Western Sydney from 99-2001.Over 20 years my studio research evolved to embrace the concept of "totalized time" and the stratification of memory in my work lends itself to the historical references I use in my paintings, creating a mixture of philosophical and ideological threads through time.
