Artist's Statement: My work begins with chaos and uncovers the hidden. I paint from the unconscious. This selection of paintings is drawn partly from my upcoming exhibition at Groundfloor Gallery, in Balmain, Sydney , June 24th -July 15th and partly from my previous work. As a child I would spend hours trying to unravel a pathway surrounding our home. I would try to link the connecting paths. I wanted to cover every step without having to backtrack or repeat myself. My work is still to do with the essence of that childhood dreaming. I am seeking to untangle the unconscious web of my personal mandala. In this way I concentrate on placing each element in the position it has to sit to tell my story. I strive to create suggestive surfaces with a hint of the hidden - beyond appearances, beyond the literal - in order to deal with more abstract concerns. Life seems to be about the small day to day patterns that define who we are and the subtle shifts that occur that, in turn, can broaden and redefine our sense of self.
