'I have been interested in experimenting with the vernaculars of abstraction. Using colour science to explore the complexity of contrast and the darkest spectrum, all in addition to texture.'
This series depicts the reflection of the full moon on water, and the delicate abstracted forms it traces. It is a continuation of my exploration of shimmer, which has become an allusion to the dreaming. Not only is it a beautiful phenomenon, but light can be experienced everywhere - it is contiguous and omnipresent.
‘Pwarrtyeme’ means to shine in Arrernte, and series extends on previous work to contemplate the transmission of light. The sun reflects onto the moon, which reflects onto water, an almost mystical process. It has parallels to the transmission of story, and even art making itself. I have been interested in experimenting with the vernaculars of abstraction. Using colour science to explore the complexity of contrast and the darkest spectrum, all in addition to texture.
