About The Artwork
This particular rocky edifice is in Katherine gorge in the Nitmiluk National Park in the Northern Territory, Australia. My aim was to depict how water torrents in the wet season over eons undermined the metamorphic rock as they cut deeper into the gorge. The sense of the numinous and sublime as I confronted the height and colour of this edifice reminded me of how fleeting were our lives; landscape as momento mori. The Indian ink under painting and over painting in oil completed in my studio combined with a on site sketch with date and time of day included.

Australia
My paintings, mixed media, drawing, printmaking and digital art are about aspects of memory, transition and origin. I depict an imagined process of passage from an idea/origin through to its situation in the present. I imagine the creative activity and thought process of specific people- artists, poets, musicians. In my landscape paintings I imagine the forces of nature and the geological strata as they form over time which results in particular geo-morphologies. I look for interiority beside surface features of specific people and terrain. Figurative organic elements in the composition meet and meld with flat, inorganic abstracted objects and the background. The artist's process from inspiration to creation is mirrored in some aspects of the earth's history. This form of disguised symbolism adds another dimension in which to explore aspects of human behaviour.
