Pencil drawing on paper. Changed to sepia tone in post. / / This is one piece out of my newest series, Perpetual Motion. Each drawing is drawn entirely with the numbers 1 – 12, marking the hours of the clock. There are no lines, no shading other than shading from the numbers. I call this style “Numberism” We’re constantly moving in one of four directions. Even if we choose to do nothing at all, we are still moving through time. Because of this, we can never go back to where we started. Every frame, there is a new “you”, fully formed in the present moment in time, built on our past and hoping for the future, but only truly existing in this moment. It is only this moment that actually exists or ever will exist, and it’s the only point in which our actions and choices will have any effect on the world, and it will be gone as quickly as it came. These drawings are attempts to show just how fleeting these moments are, these moments that so quickly become our long kept memories, and things that despite how much we might like to, are moments we can never relive. My hope is that when we look at these drawings, we will be reminded of the importance of now and possibly take more advantage of it than we might have without the reminder.
Oil on Canvas I felt in the mood for something stunning. / This spurred a conversation about what people are comfortable with. Apparently people tend not to buy paintings where the subject is staring at you. They say it makes you uncomfortable. / So feel uncomfortable. Get over it. I say push yourselves with what you’re uncomfortable with. You can’t get a more intense stare than this one. I used JayCougar’s beautiful photo as a reference.

Abstract acrylic on canvas. Inspired by Hebrews 4:14-16 An invitation from God. We should never feel uncomfortable or find it difficult to approach God. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. /

Acrylic on canvas. / This woman is determined to keep a positive attitude regardless of everything that is going on around her.
I began this series with the idea I’d create something for my boyfriend’s office. The initial efforts were photos of clouds (see earlier images) but I felt it was a great opportunity to do more painting. The plan was to have something that expresses a feeling of nature, wide open spaces and strong, bold colour. Their space needed something masculine and simple, also. Previously, much of the paintings that had been completed were done for the home, for the interior space, with a gentle, decorative sensibility. An office requires imagery which is a little more robust. I had been getting out and about, looking at different exhibitions and artists, and enjoyed the way artists like Minnie Pwerle used big, expressive strokes, rather than precious, little ones. I enjoyed the sense of freedom. Deciding I also wanted to create an ‘expanse’, it is mindfully created simply as an abstract painting. It is without reference to Sugar Bag country or any specific area at all. It is difficult not to be influenced by the colours we see surrounding us-I love bright colour and having spent a year with a teacher who had Aboriginal heritage who both encouraged us to be more aware of Aboriginal history and simultaneously scared us so much about copyright and the infringements on people’s stories and country, I have been extremely sensitive about the journey and the influence. I have done a fair amount of reading on the subject, spoken to the cultural officer at the AGNSW who aassures me as long as you are telling your own story, it’s OK. It also inspired me to teach Aborignal history to my students, as I was as a child and reflects a connection I have always felt to the sky, the earth and the spirit within.

Sixth in my “Perpetual Motion” Numberism series. Somewhere she has a list of things to do filled with words like “bill”, “late” and “memo”, but for now she doesn’t care. She knows this feeling. It has something to do with freedom. The sun is warm on her face. She gets back to business, trying to make a bigger bubble. These drawings are drawn entirely with the numbers 1 -12, marking the hours of the clock. Reference Photo
