Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
In his 40's Australian artist Brett Whiteley was nicked-named Peter Pan. He seemed to have the spirit of eternal youth. He had the playfulness of a pickled boy.At 44 he felt that although his body was aging he still had the same spirit as when he was 14. When he looked in a mirror he could see a body aging. He could trace the slow ravages of death. In his early 50's he died. He never knew old age. Just the dread.

i live and paint in Tasmania, the island down under the Land Downunder my current interest lies in expressive mark-making in portrait painting . i am finding a rich vein in the literature on material thinking - the agency of media and notion co-responsibility in creative practice deriving from the thinking of Heidegger recent work has been a series of self portraits exploring the emotions associated with aging and entering old age . here i have sought to express the grief over progressively failing physical and mental powers, grief over the loss of parents, and the grief over one's own mortality . currently i am working on the emotionally recollected family based on old family snaps and recollections from childhood presently half way through a Masters of Contemporary Arts degree
