This work examines the vitality of natural ecologies and how they can be accessed and described through the language of painting. It considers how the tradition of Australian landscape painting can be recontextualised through a contemporary lens by redefining the experience of current environmental and ecological issues.
By imbuing the forms with an energy that speaks to the essence of fecundity, the subject matter acts as a vehicle for talking about growth, movement and change in the natural world. Even though the work pays homage to the traditions of landscape painting, it seeks capture and convey a sense of vital energy.
