Land, Sea & Sky

Approached from multiple perspectives – horizontal, aerial and topographical – these works reflect the nature of the environment, and our experience and perceptions of it.

In some of these works, navigational maps of the local West Australian coastline are used as a template to investigate the colours, patterns and ‘feel’ of the landscape. Using extensive layers of dyed and printed materials, acrylic and oil mediums and embossed copper, richly textured surfaces are created, with an emphasis on transparent layers and a unifying pattern. Graphic symbols included reference those used in maps and navigational aids, and sometimes the images are gridded in a similar way to which it is viewed through satellite imagery.
