These works reflect the wonder, awe, terror, love and loss I experienced during the long journey building the capacity to walk from my place in Kingston to my brother’s in Narrabundah. The light in the paintings is an expression of the joy in seeing the sun rise after interminable night and of my eternal gratitude to my brother and best friend, Richard Campbell Kingham, who made that possible.
Each walk and painting was completed in the hours either side of dawn, as these are for me the hours of the most drama, when there is the most profound perception of change. Out of stillness, space and silence, black, depthless silhouettes slowly vivify in a secret unfolding of colour, sound and motion.
To continually see the world fresh, and to express the exquisite beauty of the transient and the unrepeatable is my ongoing quest. In setting aside the opposing notions of inner world and environment, natural and built, animate and inanimate; concrete, camellias and carports reveal themselves as all dead and all alive, all resting in shadow, all dancing in light.
