The work I'm doing now is about home: about moving house or not - will we stay here or go? The type of house, New Zealand architecture, Modernist post state housing house, and about the belongings in the house and the ever changing process of living in the house. Its about the rough edges, the art works the influences and inspirations of the artand music in the house. Art has become life and the house is the vessel, everything that is required to make the work is in the house, or in it's surroundings.
A series of works will be made concentrating on still life, and landscape painting. Some works will be paintings/photographs/watercolours. Some film and soundtrack is in production as a small instalation work and thus projectseventeen (research blog) and Project#18 have come together. Some more tactile and less representative objects which reflect surface - wall papers and silver leaf have been made and an ongoing series of such works is in production, somewhat interrupted by the move in May. As a whole the projects will reflect life story, process, feelings about life and death and the journey inbetween.
