Artist statement
This artwork explores human dimensions to the environment, the visceral
energy of place and the disconnections to space through a personal experience
of changing location from a coastal location of Kangaroo Island to a desert
region of Mildura. The juxtaposition of differing connections to location is
explored through the quality of the water’s surface, the fleeting unstable and
real nature of the reflections signifying my response to an arid desert land,
contrasting with flowing, colourful, stable unreal qualities of the reflected
colour areas that depict my home place, and within this journey finding
unexpected life and utopia in an unknown land. The Water Mirrors connect the ever-changing
systems of nature with society, ourselves and our very existence in the light
of creating a more environmentally sustainable future for all.
