The following 14 new pieces were created for this 3 man show with painter Petra Pinn and potter Bill Gray at the Creative Space in July/August 2017 |
Broken Shore (2017) recreates a pond’s edge with crockery shards in lieu of moss covered rocks and a film of oil covering the water like satin fabric, a toxic lure. It is part of my ongoing Rusted Beach
series.
Bus Stop Abstract (2017) This is an ode to my bus stop, where I spend a lot of time waiting. Images of the bus shed, a transformer and abandoned trolley are superimposed on Sydney Basin sandstone.
Capture (2017) In this new series, I use a tie-up rope to create windows to biomes of my imagination beneath the wharf. |
Funerary Work (2017) is composed of patinated metal pieces arranged as mummy wrapping and the skull of a double oyster shell, the death of our oceans. It is another work in my Rusted Beach series. |

Iron Seascape (2017) is the montage of a rusted iron sheet with a night water view where suburban lights give way to astronomical ones, another work in the Rusted Beach series. |
Jump for Joy (2017) The simple pleasure of jumping into Pittwater on a summer's day. |
Midnight Swim (2017) And the simple pleasure of swimming in Pittwater on a summer's evening. |
Monolith I (2017)
The two Monoliths are monochrome postcards from a past or future Turimetta Beach. The singularity of tone homogenises all elements in the photographs, making the real and the superimposed indistinguishable from each other and imparting a surreality, as in the way we visualised places when we only had drawings to go by. |
