Loop (framed)

This particular composition is part of a larger body of work that explores the interplay between the abstract and the representational. By isolating the bandana and pairing it with a solid color background, I aim to challenge the viewer's perceptions and invite them to consider the role of objects, color and form in creating meaning. Ultimately, I hope to encourage a deeper engagement with the world around us and the ways that seemingly ordinary objects can hold significance, beauty and different meanings. Is the bandana a mask, part of a uniform tying the wearer to a group or a simple ornament?
The work comes framed with a locally made frame which is left unstained so you can stain to match your decor or leave unstained if you wish.

This work will be on display at Bluethumb's Melbourne Gallery for the exhibition 'Rising Realism' from April 12th.

With Tertiary education in Art, a successful award winning career in design, exhibiting at some of Melbourne's most interesting galleries the boxes are ticked.... But this is not an exercise in ticking boxes... painting stormwater drains as a kid in the 80s in Adelaide wasn't about box ticking, travelling to the Mojave desert to photograph what the American dream left behind wasn't about earning a dollar. I paint and photograph items, places and people that inspire and delight me. I create those images to show their beauty and that is delivered in a strong graphic nature be it through colour or composition. I hope they engage you, delight you, calm you or entertain you... if they do let me know.
