Scrambled; Inert Matter Comes to Life

July 7 - July 31, 2010

opening July 10
2pm - 8pm

My work is about the way line and colour react. Each intersect with the other, becoming something completely new, and at once optically-intriguing as well as repulsive. It is this double sensation, the push/pull affect, which I strive to create in each work. I would cite as influences the following, from my childhood in the 1980’s: rainbow-lensed Ray Bans, Greg Curnoe bicycles, pixelated light off computer screens - even baseball caps, with their fluorescent pink rims and intense lime green tops. It was a time of bright colour, and my paintings utilize this aesthetic to create the perception of illusion and depth. I draw from the vague, brief, singular moments which surface to my mind; flashes of yellow, orange and green, and the harsh edges of geometric form.
