Description
This minimal abstract oil painting embodies a profound journey of healing, cultivated over 2 years. Its rich, deep peach rose colors radiate a sense of warmth and tranquility, reflecting a passage of time marked by both loss and recovery. Ultimately, this painting now occupies its own serene space, standing strong and peaceful, inviting contemplation and connection in its quietness.
The historical roots of minimal abstraction inspire this work, as it conveys a silent yet powerful narrative through the interplay of around 33 thick layers of oil paint. Techniques of sgraffito reveal a textured landscape where colors are scratched into and rebuilt, each layer telling its own story while contributing to a greater whole.

Description
My grandfather painted The Nut in Tasmania in the 1930s. That painting, along with many others, was lost in a house fire and I never saw it. For much of my life, I was unaware of the artistic lineage shared between my grandfather, great grandfather and myself. That absence of images, knowledge, and connection has remained present.
In 2024, I travelled to Tasmania and visited places my ancestors would have known. The journey became a way of standing within the same landscapes and allowing time and memory to surface.
At the summit of Kunanyi / Mt Wellington, the rock formations felt ancient and insistent, carrying layered geological and cultural histories. On the brink of snowfall, I wanted to remain in the silence of the rocks.
Hobart from (Kunanyi) Mt Wellington. 1952–2024 brings together ancestral movement through the landscape, the volcanic formations , mid-century tourism and my own encounter. Vintage postcards from 1952 introduce a tourist's gaze alongside the permanence of the rocks. The top layers of paint carries the ancient rock formations and patterns referencing the beginnings of ice and snow... a fleeting trace of my presence.
The work allows multiple histories to coexist without hierarchy.

Detachable collars were once a practical part of military and civilian clothing. Rather than replacing or constantly washing an entire shirt, the collar could simply be removed, cleaned or exchanged. In Australia during the war and post-war years, this was still a common feature of some military uniforms and workwear, reflecting a time when clothing was made to last and nothing was wasted.
