The Light Burns Blue

With Lucy Barry

Exhibition at Gallery Pejean — March 23 to June 27 2020

The coast of Tasmania has been an enduring subject of my painting. Rocky outcrops and islands evoke a sense of remoteness and wilderness, of memories and myths. They have the presence of a spiritual site existing in the space between land and sea, between sea and sky. I am interested in the way landscape is viewed; as ancient and tracked with stories, as an antipodean ideal, as terrain refracted by abstraction and digitisation. Coastlines make placeholders in minds and maps. The viewpoint shifts from a distant horizon to close and enveloping images of water, the flotsam and jetsam of experience.
