About The Artwork

It is a modern and environmentalist version of the historical fairy tale, a combative Little Riding Hood who welcomes and does not demonize the presence of the wolf. Scientific studies has increased our understanding of wolf–human relations and the important role the top predator plays in the ecosystem health. Stories of the wolf like Red Riding Hood offer a mythology imbued with archetypal powers that tap into profound fears about the place of the human in nature—fears that blur the boundaries between an animal world and a human world. At the same time, this storied wolf has become intertwined with contentious issues about social change, urban–rural divide, private property rights, custom and culture, and the social construction of nature, thus stirring anxieties about larger value-based political issues.

I live and work in Sydney. While my works are inspired by a strongly narrative element grounded in the context of my own personal experience and history, much of my painting is devoid of figuration and extraneous detail. Large areas are left undefined, empty of fuss and unnecessary congestion. I leave these dark holes for the viewer to peer into and struggle through. For me, drawing and painting are both journeys through layers. My paintings are intensively worked, scrapped back repeatedly and re-configured, looking for something that is unified, full and ordered. In my works the sheer physicality of paint, its density and the archaeology of the layers, its application and movement across the surface is inseparable from the content. I believe it’s not enough to simply describe what we see, one has to recreate the landscape in painterly form by simplifying and accentuating so that we can understand the truth and tensions that exist therein.
