Living and working in the hills of rural Tasmania, my work explores memory and perception through an ongoing exploration of abstraction. Influenced by the shapes, textures, and rhythms embedded in my surroundings, I create layered surfaces where impressions re-emerge as transformed motifs. These forms act as mnemonic traces—echoes of places, objects, and landscapes—revealing how memory accumulates, distorts, and dissolves into abstraction. My process of layering, removing, adding, sanding back and mark-making further amplifies these themes, mirroring the shifting, fragmentary nature of recollection.
