About The Artwork
Wax penciling these native scribbles my mind continued to roam and ponder on what to do with and how to do Australia Day that’s quickly approaching?’ I’d just finished Stan Grant’s ‘Australia Day’ and was now delving into one he quoted from - ‘Dancing with Strangers’ by Ingna Clendinnen. In her book she recounts the moment in January 1788 when the First Fleet arrives in Sydney Harbour and a thousand British men and women encounter the Australians living there. Here, quotes a British observer after landfall, “these people mixed with ours and all hands danced together.”

Australia
Chatterings, squawking, and swishes. That’s how I remember the place I used to play in the mountains. Our converted dairy farm in McDonald Valley with galas, kookaburras, and cicadas made life always full of noise. My Sydney city epoch was the same but different, with white-smoked days at the Enmore loft studio with the honeyeaters, minor birds, and plane-bus-car noise. Now I’ve returned to the country, the Watagan mountains, to see the animals and plants I love first-hand. With them, I fill the wood’s tangled face with wax-full Luminance pencil marks to brighten and novelise the everyday nature that speaks to me, with Australian flora & fauna tapestries.
