I continue to experiment with the way conflicted elements might be employed in art making to express notions of harmony and beauty.

I am currently making paintings that explore the idea that for a predominantly urban population, the Australian countryside is commonly experienced first-hand through the window of a moving motor vehicle.

The road acts as a filter, determining our access to the experience of the landscape, the windscreen a cinematic frame. Physical structures dissolve as motion distorts the perception of form and colour.

Yet for all the apparent preocupation with speed and multiplicity these works project the slow intimate pace of contemplation.
