| 关于此艺术家 | |
"My paintings are landscapes of symbols collected from direct observations of nature, and from specific memories of my childhood in Tasmania. I employ cherished retreived objects from this landscape, its temperate rain forest (which is a rare thing on our planet), its scattered animal bones, ancient paths and intense dry heat. I have developed a symbology of color - ochres, reds, greens, yellows. This symbology forms the structure for the work, combined with pattern, rhythm and repetition. I have transformed this remembered landscape into a personal landscape. Weaving through this landscape, are images derived from convict carvings on the Ross Bridge and from the time honored tradition of water-divining (which I practice). |

1_Snakes and Ladders
2007 |
','Image'))
|
| This painting idea is originally formed after the children's game and expanded to incorporate symbols from landscape. |
|
2_Rescue up the Creek
2007 |
','Image'))
|
| One day when I was in my motorboat I heard someone screaming "Help!
Help!" I knew there must be a man drowning on the other side of the
swamp. I went to the rescue as fast as I could. |
|
3_Ross Brigde Portraits
2007 |
)
|
| For this tall paintings' composition I utilized a tight compression of
portrait images to convey the feeling I wanted of the sandstone
carvings by the convict sculptor Daniel Herbert on Ross Bridge,
Tasmania. |
|
4_Fifty Mile Puzzle
2007 |
)
|
| If you do this puzzle correctly, you will have taken a Fifty Mile hike
through this tall painting. Go on a journey with these ships. |
|
5_Transatlantic
2007 |
)
|
| The industrial towers like the one in this painting are all around the
urban landscape, conveyers of energy, supporting and transporting - in
this case the transatlantic cruise liner. |
|
6_Lost in the Caves
2007 |
)
|
| I once had a friend named Jimmy Scraggles. One summer while Jimmy was
on vacation, he wandered away from the beach. He found some caves in
the cliffs below the lighthouse. The caves were connected to each
other to make a sort of maze. When it was time for Jimmy to go home to
supper, he found he was lost in the maze. |
|
7_ Ross Bridge Excavation
2006 |
)
|
| In this painting I tried to convey a feeling of an excavation of
layered earth, uncovering buried history, symbols and plant forms at
the site in Ross, Tasmania. |
|
8_ Ross Bridge heads
2006 |
','Image'))
|
| These heads are portraits of people familiar to the convict sculptor
Daniel Herbert who carved them in stone on the panels framing the
arches of the Ross Bridge in Tasmania. |
|
9_Large leaf
2006 |
)
|
| Playing with oversized scale I composed this generic leaf diagonally on
the canvas to address fore-ground, middle-ground and back-ground in an
awkward space. |
|
10_Ship of Fools
2007 |
)
|
| Daniel Herberts' Ross Bridge carvings become revelers, metaphorically
from all walks of life on a voyage to God knows where. Inspired by the
16 th century wood cut image by Sebastian Brant titled "The Ship of
Fools". This image opens up pathways to memories, childhood fears,
delights, ecstacies, horrors, grotesque fantasies and other foolish
musings. I find it resonates deeply with our times. |
|
11_Fire Train
2006 |
','Image'))
|
| This painting was aptly titled by a child when it was in its initial
difficult state. It transformed into its current, final state over a
period of a decade. The title stayed. |
|
12_The Last Collection
2006 |
)
|
| Peter the popular postman set out from the Post Office to make the last
collection of the day. He had to empty six boxes and deliver the
letters to the sorting office. People who rush to the mailbox to catch
the last collection usually have very important letters to send. |
|
13_Feast
2006 |
)
|
| Still-life arrangements become part of a landscape, viewed through a
border of Tasmanian native flora. The subject recalls my families back
yard fruit growing attempts. |
