you cant walk into the same room twice

the local mullet. With my dad and nephew

recent developments

This is the finished work propped up on top of an older work. When (if) the sun comes up I will take another picture

As the image progressed I started to realise that it is a good metaphor for life in a small and tight nit community. the interconnections, the tangles and surprising histories. The bulbs began to sprout mouths eyes and fingers. It got a bit weird for a while there before I managed to get these body parts back into some sort of order.


I needed to go bigger...this is three panels 80 Cm square

So I color coded each strand to enable me to follow the tangle and scaled everything up to an 80 CM square canvas.
This is a corner of a painting where I happened to find a washed up Shearwater tangled in seaweed. I found the seaweed interesting ...actually more interesting than any other thing.

A couple of landscape/still-life paintings 50x90 CM
You cant' step into the same room twice. (my current motto)
