Ephemeral Window- the Never Never – 122x152cm

Afternoon light creates a golden domed vista through the trees, honoured in reflection by the river as this body of water speaks in unison with the earth and the sky. Squint your eyes and they all read as one. Delve into the spaces between shadow and light, tree trunk, branches, foliage, rock and ripples of water and see that nature hums in geometrical connection, elucidating a kaleidoscope of colour – as above, so below. The reductive process of carving into the dry oil paint reveals patterns and gestural marks in either the white of the primed surface or deeper incisions into the timber exhibiting the delicate dance of the elements – vital for life
