Pen on Somerset cotton rag
Height: 57cm. Width: 74cm.
‘Wool, Hops, Tobacco’, takes its source imagery from my late Pa’s work shed in rural Victoria. This provides the context for me to process loss, grief, joy, and reminisce of days spent taught woodworking, stolen sips of beer, and Summers spent hurtling down a hose doused tarp in his backyard.
Utilizing a system whereby the ruled grid becomes the vessel for a lexicon of hand-drawn symbols, my practice is engaged with mediating rather than mirroring the world, placing emphasis upon time and repetition, each informing the other in an attempt to coordinate thought and stabilize the disorder of the everyday.
