Bay of Fires – Every Pebble was a Mountain, Every Mountain becomes a Pebble

My work explores discontent with the future, the nature of ‘being’, the human experience and connection/lack of connection with the landscape. My paintings present worlds which are void of the human, yet hold a trace of where the body may have been, using a combination of free brush markings and constrained forms in an attempt to create an environment which embodies both the pain and beauty of being human and what we leave behind Every pebble becomes a mountain and every mountain becomes a pebble, eventually, when the water washes it away.
