Rover's Way Painting

Finding a language in the post-‘visible light’ era of observation and recording is my interest. My paintings are essentially landscapes. There are no fixed viewpoints. I am influenced by Aboriginal art, Cubism, digital photography, Hubble and Webb deep field images in non-visible light, maps, and archaeological ground radar scanning. Indigenous art has always had a powerful influence on me, through its ability to realise landscape in simple 2 dimensional forms, non-specific orientation and non-representative colours. Indigenous art can encompass both time and space in map-like images. Rover Thomas’ work has been particularly inspirational for me. The picture surfaces are built with layers of canvas and rough, textured and flat colour used to emphasise relationships, and I allow under-layers to peep through; all of which emerge as the work evolves. These pictures are never really finished, they are abandoned. I hope the viewer sees an essential reality when they look at them, not a recreation. I never frame my work, as choice of frame and hanging orientation are completely the reserve of the owner of the work. I prefer frames that provide a small void between the edge of the artwork and the frame.
