About The Artwork
The 'Killing Time' series is based on Simon Armitage's brilliant poem of the same title, commissioned by the Millennium Committee. The thousand line poem is divided into sections, which explore different aspects of man's relationship with his fellow man, and the state of civilisation at the beginning of the 21st Century. The poem provided the springboard for my painterly investigations. ‘Distraction’ refers to the part of the poem where a Westerner’s perspective is shaped by the bright lights of a shopping precinct, whilst our governments commit to deadly war practices on far flung countries. It tries to capture the hectic excitement of city living.

United Kingdom
I am an Australian Interior Designer and painter living in London UK. I believe we are put on this planet to look after each other, including strangers. I make art to have a conversation with people I will never meet, to find a connection between our experiences that reflects our common humanity. I live in an age when the earth faces an existential, environmental and humanitarian crisis through climate change, and art is the way I represent my time and place, to respond emotionally and convey the urgency of the need to become carbon neutral.
