Resharing an important painting, I took a risk and followed more oh what I wanted, rather that being very meticulous with my paintings. It was the turning point from my geometric “Temporal Crash” paintings to my energy paintings.

Sketchbook pages, using some restriction to explore form (left sides) and layering/painterly gesture (right pages).I find myself pulled, whether to share video or photos of my practice. While I love the dynamics of video, and of course the algorithm-gods love short form video. Video doesn’t let an image idle or an idea take a seat..

Huge news! My painting, Memoriam: A Portrait of George Duncan, has been acquired and will now join The University of Adelaide’s permanent collection. This is the first time a painting has been added to an institutional collection. I feel extremely excited, proud and incredibly grateful.

Thank you to Fiona and all the Adelaide University staff.

Hey, if you are wondering whats going on with the double upload.

Currently, I upload my short form content over three platforms - I tend to keep it all pretty much the same. However, I decided to edit my footage and make both a vertical short and something a bit more long-form as an experiment.

I might eventually start making long-form content again, but for now its just an experiment.
Have a good one :)
