Take A Seat II, March, 2024 Exhibition

1 Mar 2024 – 31 Mar 2024
Introducing my (cut-out) shaped panel paintings and assemblages, which are informed by colour, shape and object-like quality, taken all the way to the edges.

Artworks in Exhibition

Here, I leave the rectangular frame behind.

When the rectangle is cut with an electric router, it is a moment of transformation through the power of change. As if by magic, the edges absorb and redefine space.

My imagery is inspired by places within our local urban environment and our collective experience of the everyday: the cafes on the footpath surrounded by plants and trees, still life on the cafe tables, the patterned shadows on the ground and the joy of alfresco dining in the Melbourne sun.

Each composition intends to expand the viewer’s experience beyond the painting’s edges and shaped assemblages.

Inside (image) and outside (contour of picture) are created on the same terms.

With these works, I break with decorum and mainstream modernism, taking risks and altering the rules of my academic training.

My shaped paintings and assemblages have been inspired by Henri Matisse, Elizabeth Murray, and Frank Stella.
