ambivalence
by VanskNever thought to upload this one as an actual artwork, until a friend asked to see it larger. What I like about it, is the expression is open to interpretation. It is many things at once, (sadness, determination, subordination, deep thought) and at the same time, none at all. / Also went for a renaissance-style chiaroscuro effect on this one…

Continuing with this series of Infrared photographs of the landscape images that make up the Neverland Collection. This was shot in Sydney Park after a wild electical storm had lashed the smooth little hills that make up the framework of this completely artifical and totally man made park on the edge of Newtown in Sydney. The darkening shadows cast long fingers over the walkers dotted on the low sinuous hill in the background. This chiaroscuro rendering of the landscape makes this image more painterly to me that something purely photographic and this is further enhanced by the deep and luscious grain that IR film gives as its trademark effect…... within the darkness there is always a little light to be found….

Smoking. Femme fatale, film noir style. / Low-key portraits are my all time favourite thing. This image forms part of my project about smoking. I have asked everyone I have photographed for permission first. I felt it was important to be honest, up front and to respect people. I think it is still possible to get a pure image even though I have made myself known to the subject. / This was taken at Newcastle Quayside.

“There were always in me, two women at least, / one woman desperate and bewildered, / who felt she was drowning and another who / would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, / conceal her true emotions because they / were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, / and present to the world only a smile, / an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.” / - Anais Nin medium: paint and charcoal on 300gsm smooth Arches paper size: 42×59.4cm (A2) currently listening to: Only The Lonely by The Motels

The Location: / Found and photographed along a track at Swan’s Crossing in the Kerewong State Forest , west of Kew , NSW, Australia, right at the end of autumn. The Making of Chiaroscuro: / This photograph (and more), are THE best fungi shots I have made so far.

Visit the Fungi & Lichen collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fungal delights.

24×36 oil on panel original It is an oil painting done with lots of turp and varnish. / The painting represents many aspects of life. / The man is tense. / He is standing in the shadows, not knowing what to do. / You can’t see his face because he doesn’t want you to know what he is thinking. / So he stands there in his shadow and waits, / Waits until the day that everything is clear. It is based on the character in a book of a friends / that is yet to be published. It was featured in the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH March 2009 Its a self portrait of sorts. I’m the model and I’m a bit of a loner when I’m painting hence the face or lack there of. I hope you like it and add a comment telling me what’s good or bad about it. I’m open to a good critique.
