Title: high winds Series: belongil creek Medium: creek print on canvas Size: 2 panels – 300cm h x 200cm w Date: 2012 This was the first print I made off the creek.

Title: storm Series: belongil creek Medium: creek print and acrylic on canvas Size: 3 panels – 600cm h x 400cm w Date: 2012 I had my new canvas’ prepared for a good few months before the scum began to reappear on the creek edges again.

Title: downpour Series: belongil creek Medium: creek print on canvas Size: 3 panels – 600cm h x 400cm w Date: 2012 I captured this print just moments before a huge tropical downpour. Notice the scum slipped off a little when i lifted each panel out of the water, creating this melting effect. When the three panels are displayed together it creates a beautiful mountain peak landscape.

Title: timelapse Series: blobo Medium: acrylic on canvas Size: 1800cm h x 1200cm w Date: 2012 Like the other six in this series, this work began with a big blob of pink ochre house paint poured onto the stretched canvas. I followed the paint with one or two big splashes of water, and then i watched the effects of its drying. The next stage of the process is built up with acrylics and transparent mediums. I describe the process […]
