Ubud Landscape Painting

Inspired by the colourful and quirky Hindu festivals at my favourite South East Asian destination island paradise Bali, Indonesia. My work explores the idea of a non-binary relationship between humans and the natural world, and nature as a potential source of psychological story-telling. I am interested in the more mysterious aspects of one’s lived experience; of being a celestial body living on this planet, living in nature and urbanity, how to make sense of the experience of both isolation and connection. My paintings evoke strange places and inner worlds, and explore the relationship between human and animal; drawing upon anthropomorphic elements in my local environment and the Australian outback. The experience of ‘self’ and one’s senses are interpreted through an illusory habitat, and its botanical, animal and plant forms. Animal avatars act as emotional doubles, in the process of metamorphosis, human and animal in anthropomorphic fusion with each other. The portrayal of animals also reflects an artist’s creative plight - rebellion, instinct, authenticity, freedom, solitude. Subverted narratives in the work reflect the personal, as well as the collective conscious, referencing my fascination with illustrations from Edwardian fairy-tales and medieval alchemical drawings.
