In addition to keeping you updated with my current works. On an ongoing basis I will also provide an overview of my previous work.
The first work from the archive is Poste - Heads of State (36 panels, relief print on wood, length: 400cm x height: 180cm).
The work was a finalist in the 2006 Silkcut Print Award - Glen Eira Gallery, Melbourne, Victoria, 2007 Burnie Print Prize - Burnie Regional Gallery, Burnie, Tasmania and the 2007 Fremantle Print Award, Fremantle Arts Centre, Western Australia.
The work was subsequently purchased by Little Creatures Brewing.
"Poste is one work that came from a series of works where I incorporated the use of the postage stamp from six different countries.
The initial use of the images were made for a particular purpose and time - but with our current state of affairs in the world I have aimed to offer a different meaning and interaction.
The stamp has been a symbol of communication and letter writing - inspiring dreams of distant lands and of places of mystery etc. The images themselves have also over time become symbols representing many meanings.
Usually revealing thoughts of a past - a past era and memories.
The figureheads in Poste change as their images multiply, their faces change - the cut out circles in the work bring elements of the portraits to life as does the changing light once it hits the surfaces.
Sometimes playful, occasionally a little more sinisterly.
The faces offer-up an interpretation that requires the viewer to cast their own thoughts towards these images as the figureheads play to convey memories, impressions or perhaps even an understanding of our human fragility..."
Currently I have a single print, framed, available for purchase - 1 panel, relief print on wood, length: 45cm x height: 45cm.
