My work explores the structural relationships between line, shape, texture and color. A blank sheet of paper is always the genesis, with each new element suggesting the next; in this way, an image is slowly developed over time into something complete and unique. I am inspired by organic elements and shapes, such as the Tasmanian bush, a tree branch, waves trailing from a boat or a mass of rocks but I am not interested in the literal rendering of objects or scenes. I observe then dismantle and finally rebuild. My medium of choice is water based archival pigment ink prints, in a similar way that Andy Warhol's medium was silk screened prints. I have moved to this medium because the oil based paint and solvents I used in the past were environmentally unfriendly and i became very allergic to their toxic nature. It's important for me as an Artist not to pollute the world that inspires my art. To this end, every element of my work - from the inks to the paper to the final varnish - is chosen with this thought in mind, without sacrificing the highest archival standards. I hand draw all my lines, shapes, scratches, distortions and textures into my printer's software, then proof and print all pieces myself. My work occupies the space between hand made and digital. Software is used only as the means to realize the art as a printed work. My ultimate aim is to create deceptively simple, meditative works that hold and reward the viewer even after many viewings.
