This series of landscapes, or 'memory-scapes', are created in response to the grief experienced after losing a loved one. The artworks act as a mediator between place, memory and spirit.

 

From coastlines such as Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre flowing into the Coorong, the Ngaro islands-Whitsundays, to Pintingaa-Kangaroo Island, inland to Ikara-Flinders Ranges, to Kata Tjuta-the Olgas and the great salt lake Wilkinkarra-Lake Mackay in central Australia where our family lived for years in the deserts with Pitjanjatjara and Pintupi people.

 

These works are in honour of my much-loved father who was killed suddenly in a construction accident. He described my art as 'magic', and gifted me my love of nature, an adventurous spirit and countless experiences exploring new places. He is no longer here physically, but his spirit is everywhere now.

 

By traversing the space between love and loss, I create these works to share as windows to places of immense beauty, wonder and awe.
