Fertile, Free, Spectrum Gallery ECU, Perth 2016
Fertile, Free explores the potentiality and charged nature of the ‘Vacant’, highlighting a tension between the stillness and promise of empty landscapes and non-spaces. Through the void of human presence, these paintings act as containers for residual energy that lingers in familiar and pedestrian scenes… its parks, underpasses, toilet blocks and carparks.
