As I step the threshold of the dirt road and into the bush, wondering a few moments, it’s like I am already lost, swallowed up by the forest.  My internal compass is spiraling, and the laws of the physics have changed. The lights energy has taken me away. 

I am in another world and in the presence of great ancient beings. Hundreds and thousands and millions of years, all present. Manifesting in rocks, in trees, in earth, in air, in wind, in particles of sunlight. 

….this new body of work is coming….

I’ve sat day after day in a particular section of the bush, out there in the mighty Gippsland of Victoria. Intensive observation and detail have consumed and overwhelmed me. It’s been a long deep dive and now i’m surfacing to share the jewels at the end of my pencil.

I have been liberally using paper, charcoal, graphite and pigment to weave my stories. Trying to translate, its taken me a long time to work out how to say what’s in my mind. And now I’m just getting started and I’m excited to go on the journey together.
