Suburbia The New Frontier

ARTIST STATEMENT

SUBURBIA, THE NEW FRONTIER

                As a resident of the area, my work emerges from a visual and personal interpretation of the surrounding landscape.

                 This Bicentennial year, I opted to produce a series of strongly narrative images depicting both the history and the possible future evolution of the landscape.

                To complete this task, I needed research, and I am grateful for the publication of the book, ‘On the Frontier”, by Christopher Keating.

                I started photographing the Cow pasture area, the same place where

Cattle from the first fleet were found in 1788 grazing. My work centres around this area and looks towards the huge expanse of housing developments and the CBD.

                Agricultural and farming was the main focus of the land from the 1820,s onwards as ex-convict farmers and colonial blue bloods provided produce to the population, and ‘The Frontier emerged as a divide between the bush and the big smoke.

                The South-West’s conversion from country to city status with its own suburbia has accelerated dramatically in the last 50 years as the population growth has sought affordable housing, and home ownership has become a symbol of security and social acceptability, however as dramatic as the urban and commercial growth, has been the demise of the agricultural sector.

                My work presents a transition of time, dawn to dusk, and an evolution of rural to suburban subjects and colours.

                                I play with photographic images, compose on Photoshop, and recreate with paint, often using transparent glazes to produce the atmospheric changes of the day.

                I am grateful to the Liverpool Art Society and The Casula Powerhouse for this opportunity to display my work

TEN NEW SNOW IMAGES

The first of my snow images

As a regular visiter an admirer of our Alpine Landscape I had collected so many great snow photos.Many of which were photographed in places you just couldnt get to without a set of skis.
  I decided to make it a series of images, these were the first, which ,insidently were the basis for my first exhibition outside Art School, at Faifield Gallery, last December.

Photography, just a piece of paper

Tibet

This painting won the Scolarship for LAS ,at the Casula Powerhouse, the theme was Asia. I researched all I could on China,s domination and destrucction of the Tibetan Landscape and learnt a lot in the process.
Initially I wanted to paint the himalayas,I remember visiting the foot of the himalayas in the 80,s and chillingon the roof of a houseboat, how so much has changed.
