Hello and Welcome To My World
Melbourne, Sydney, Edinburgh, London, Creswick.
A design degree, a knack with computers but an aversion to the advertising industry and a family full of pharmicists led to a career in medical animation, with dabblings in painting talking crocodiles, preparing mexican food and bad bass playing along the way.
After a few years of hard work in an ugly overcrowded city, the meaning of life became a whole lot clearer and there was a change of direction. Those ‘farm holiday’ visits 20 years previous had made quite an impact. So too had those formal oil painting classes received as an 8yo.
My Artwork
Fishing the Sea of the Unconscious.Well that should pique the interest of most of you!
"We each must become like fishermen, and go out onto the dark ocean of mind, and let your nets down into that sea... And the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness.
And so, to whatever degree, any one of us can bring back a small piece of the picture, and contribute it to the building of the new paradigm. Then we participate in the redemption of the human spirit." - Terence McKenna
I have a tendency to work in series. The end results are ‘inner landscapes’ from allowing the unconscious to send up ideas or feelings in response to a theme. I never sit down with a real live subject or object and a plan. To satisfy those of you who like labels and boxes, I don’t do landscapes, still lifes or portraits.
My paintings have been described as ‘Symbolist’.
To read a poem as a chronicle of fact is - to say the least - to miss the point. To say a little more, it is to prove oneself a dolt - Joseph Campbell
