Western Forest – Form into Field

The painting represents an integration of the twinned concepts of figure and ground. The fugitive landscape ‘ground’ both frames and is woven into the timber stack ‘figure’ through the mediating screen of painted mesh. I am looking to establish a new relationship between these perceptual codes and by extension a new attitude towards the remediation of the environment of the Queen Valley.
