These works were painted from field trips to salt lakes at two locations: the Murray-Sunset Park, in Northwestern Victoria, and the Yorke Peninsular in South Australia,

The salt lakes represent the extremities of experience. For me, they connect to life’s origin, reminding me of Deep Time. My artistic process is to experience a location, walking or camping, taking notice of the environment, watching the land itself, and the birds and animals and insects that share it.

I draw, scribbles and doodles, and sometimes paint. Back in the studio these initial studies, form the basis of larger works.

These works are collision of memories and emotions that in an abstract way attempt to illuminate our relationship to the land we live with and on, to the plants and trees and other animals that we share our life with, and to a more spiritual connection to the cosmos
