Untitled, (Landscape field series) Painting

I'm an Australian contemporary visual artist, working from my studio in a coastal town in Northern NSW. Outside I create ephemeral sculptures, using what is around me - palm leaves, and other organic matter become 'mysterious creatures' that appear and disappear with the seasons. Inside is an extension of outside and vice versa. My new series of paintings called 'Bamboo Offerings' have taken a year to produce. The paintings are scraped back, layer upon layer appear and disappear. A feeling in a brushstroke, a memory of a place in a layer, a mark becomes an experience in the no-time zone. Im always working to create memories of the past in the present and beyond is the silence.... For me art is life is meditation, and lives and breathes itself...... KF Jan, 2013
