Our way to connect to one another and the stories we tell, is of the utmost importance. It’s been a crazy couple of years for everyone and as an artist it’s becoming paramount to tell a story and by doing so connect to others.
Almost Tangible, a body of abstract and landscapes, is loosely based around Aotearoa’s riverbeds, although not entirely obvious to specific places, capturing the dreamy, dramatic and mystical quality that surrounds. All of the works are painted in oils and some have silver leaf or gold leaf in the works, creating a play with light and giving the pieces a special luminous quality.
These paintings endeavour to have a feeling of a ‘sanctuary’ or ‘a place to rest’. They are emotive and almost tangible, and hopefully calming.
My paintings are always evolving, and I think as you grow as a person your work changes too. It’s quite reflective in that aspect.
