Formwork and Forgeries

Mars Gallery, 2020


Formworks - are paintings evoking giant strip stores and retail factory suburbs. In the actual world, these are essentially virtual 3D models ‘printed’ onto a ground wiped clear of any encumbrances - a processes echoed in the making of the paintings.


Forgeries - are paintings in the style of my own early work referencing 18th Century British landscape painting. New research demonstrates that these images closely resemble the actual Australian landscape that confronted settlers at the point of colonisation, and for the same reason, they were carefully cultivated. 


Fugue State - is an infinite loop video made in 3D software that evokes Being, now.

 

The 18th Century saw both the colonisation and rationalisation of space. In the 21st Century and, particularly in the  New World, we inherit the consequences. 


The difference in painting styles are two sides of the same coin.
