The work depicts the relationship between three phases of the existence of the gingko tree as shown by it leaves. The rock background is covered by ancient fossil impressions of the leaves (once very common in cretaceous times about 65million years ago) in a shale, overshadowed by modern leaves representing the cycle of life from fresh green leaves in the spring rains to yellow and dying as winter rains approach

In Search of Sir John Monash : an artistic journey


My works for "In Search of Sir John Monash" follow on from my previous geological panels and paintings. On the surface they are firmly represented by earthly things, the soil and rocks. Yet they also reflect on three key aspects of Sir John's life. They have been created with the assistance of an arts grant from the Monash City Council, which allowed me to learn about casting and moulding, to bring stronger dimensionality into my geological panels, experiment with a range of materials and hold this exhibition.


The Gaia Birds Revisited, are a series based on my own photoimprerssion technique that pay homage to some of our colourful birds, and James Lovelock's beautiful analogy of Gaia. The Images begin as photographs but I actually strip them of detail, recycle the colours more harmoniously, like any artist might and create a new palette using fractal flames, mathematical shapes and tessellations.



Charcoal Sketch of the Military John Monash

The stone fish was largely based around the theme of extinction, and also using geological inspired images and surfaces.
