‘Homage to Light' (2021)
A study of the light passing over the sails of the Sydney Opera House between sunrise and sunset.
‘Arthur’s Ark’ 1000x1780mm (2023)
Inspired by an epic biblical account in the Book of Genesis, 'Arthur’s Ark' portrays a great flood within the Shoalhaven Valley. Threatened by rising water and chaos, a new vessel homes Arthur's collection of irreplaceable paintings to float above the water and submerge beneath the landscape. With direct parallels to contemporary weather events, the artwork reminds us not to forget the primitive power of rocks, rivers and rain - but also the human capacity for climate-adaptive resilience.
'Space Tubes in Wool' Tapestry (2025)
'Space Tubes in Wool' evokes the legacy of Robin Boyd’s bold spatial experimentation, reminiscing on the sonic dreamscapes and sensorial zeitgeist at World Expos ’67 Montreal and ’70 Osaka. It honours and reawakens The Space Tube - an installation dismantled and cast into a pit at the Expo's close - transforming its fleeting presence into woven memory.
Tubular modules within the composition are sized to standard brick dimensions and align with mortar joints when installed — mirroring the wall itself and then dissolving it. From this alignment springs a visual illusion: the brick plane appears to ripple and fold into a series of concentric woven vaults, as though the wall breathes, and the viewer absorbed in.
Illusionary depth is created through layered hachure, and pick-and-pick patterning—techniques drawn from the practice of Master ATW weaver Tim Gresham, referencing works such as Phase (2023), Flux (2018) and Shift Memory (2014). A vibrant orange colour palette, inspired by the bespoke uniforms of Expo ’67 hostesses, pulses against a muted grey, infusing the composition with warmth and mid-century presence. Just as the red front gate marks the threshold into Boyd’s home, the tapestry’s vivid orange portal frames the transition and descent into the living room.
