artist statement
A continuing series..... I have sought to map a journey through densely stitched snapshots of a familiar landscape as viewed through a car window while travelling on a country road. Long car trips are part of the ritual of growing up in rural Australia.
The open expanse of sprawling countryside reminds us that we all live under the same blue sky.
Reinforcing our shared humanity.
These works are inspired by canola fields in flower in regional NSW. After making and photographing the works, I realise how much they reminded me of Gauguin's palette and colour blocked landscapes in his Tahitian women series of painting. Hence the name.
