Kia kaha, Kahikatea
Acrylic on canvas, 2023
I conceived this painting as a type of perceptual abstraction – I am painting in the space of your perceptions. What is essentially a static picture quickly becomes dynamic – by this I mean it is an experience that unfolds as it holds your eye. Ambiguity of relationship is key here creating a pulsation or progression of changing relationships.
Donated to and installed at Kensington in-patient unit, in Timaru, in recognition of the care I received there.
Abstract butterfly (effect)
Acrylic on canvas, 2025
One painting, two canvases. The formal relationships here are in operation across the wall. I have tried to capture the effect of a butterfly fluttering. Do you think I succeeded?
Will be on display at the Aigantighe Gallery, Timaru, as part of the “Scripted” group exhibition starting Aug 21, 2025.
