Where Sea Meets Sky
The theme of this exhibition is the relationship between the horizon – literally where the sea meets with the sky. Sometimes subtle, sometimes bright. I have been observing this for many years now, and it has deeply affected me.
I have little tiny jewel like pieces, and two great big 2.5 meter pieces!
Two works involve the melting of polystyrene on the surface (A poisonous process done in my toxic chemical studio). Melted polystyrene enables me to explore even more fully the texture of the surf and sky.
Many of the works use black sand with acrylic – the sand is full of reflective silica and quietly sparkles increasing the relationship of the endless changing light.
My latest piece ‘scud- clouds on water’ is enamels on plastic – the plastic being a new material for me to use. It enables the 2105mm long piece to be light to hang - excellent! That work reminds me of Monet’s last water lily pieces that he gifted to the city of Paris (They hang in the specially built curved rooms there). They are all about the subtle relationships within form– they are not bright. They have areas of beauty but are not all beauty. ‘Scud’ explores that also.
