RECENT PAINTINGS

First Showing of the "Untitled Series"

Picture
The Untitled Art Installation ran from April 8-9, from 12noon to 5pm both days, at Forest High School Hall, 135 Frenchs Forest Road, Frenchs Forest, Sydney. 

16 paintings (25m long) and 16 drawings (22m long), creating an intense experience. What makes installation art different from a series of individual paintings is that it is a complete unified experience. The focus is on how the viewer experiences the work and the desire to provide an intense experience for them. 

Untitled aims to give you exactly this: an intense experience about our life, our relationships, and a space for you to have a conversation with God.

Life After Birth
3min, animation.  2000

Twins in a womb wonder if there is life after birth. Their reflection rises to panic when the contractions begin. They conclude, because they have not seen it, that there is no mother or life outside the womb.
