Quiet Uncertainty
oil on hand-beaten steel
60 x 73cm
There is in this enigmatic place of memory, imagination and experience, a sense of belonging and an atmosphere of quiet uncertainty.
How do we internalize the external world?
What are the emotional resonances that emerge in the space between light and dark, depth and surface, intimacy and distance, the known and the unknown?
Which hidden aspects of self are there to be, realised, reawakened, reclaimed?

“We are at a unique time in our life on these islands of Tasmania; forced to pause, reflect, revaluate, to consider, to reset, to look again at where we live with new eyes.
Over the last few decades Bett Gallery has explored what it means to live or have lived in this place we now call Tasmania in a series of important exhibitions including Future Perfect, South of No North and six Poets and Painters exhibitions.
It is time to again look deeply into this place.
A group of Tasmanian artists and writers were invited to join curators Carol Bett, Gerard Castles and Pete Hay to explore the idea of what it means to be Tasmanian, our island and who we are and might be as islanders at this moment in our unfolding story.”

Interlude
Oil on hand beaten steel
67 x 87cm irregular oval shape
The journey by boat to Port Davey, on Tasmania’s southwest coast, is rugged and exposed. When I finally passed the Breaksea Islands and entered the bay, the calm water and mist-filled mountains induced in me a sense of relief. In the following days of travelling though the waterways I was met with never-ending possibilities. It was the moments of pause, finding myself between one place and another that was to later become the inspiration for this painting. To me, the organic round shape of hand beaten steel, baring the marks of time and work, is a portal into a past experience.
This Talking with Painters podcast was recorded during my exhibition Shelter in Sydney at the end of November 2018. It talks about my inspirations and journey to becoming an artist.
