Stitching and collaging onto painted canvas is how I bring together the threads of memory, landscape, and connection that run through my work. For those familiar with my paintings, this is a new direction.
Growing up in Western Queensland gave me an enduring bond with the bush, inseparable from family and memory. I have been fortunate to pass this on to my own children, especially my son. He is an explorer in the truest sense and now leads me on journeys that stretch me further. His expeditions demand hardiness and courage, offering rare chances to meet the Australian landscape in its rawest form. Sleeping in a swag under an open sky, I encounter fear and awe in equal measure.
These journeys have become quiet meditations on resilience and on how profoundly children teach their parents. Coming from a family of makers, the physical process of layering and stitching mirrors the way I piece these thoughts together.
