Once again symbolism is the main objective with my work, yet unlike the still life
where objects tell the story, graffiti covered gums and bamboo take their place.
Carved quotes, dates and names give a unique insight and story into the individual
or theme I’ve chosen to dedicate the paintings to.

“My motivation to undergo the bamboo series was simply to dedicate an exhibition
to my rich textural backgrounds, that have been a part of my work since the early
beginnings. Living right next door to the botanical gardens in Melbourne gave me
the perfec stylised, linier form to be placed on top of the background whilst not
dominating the painting. Amongst the lush foliage and flowers were large clusters
of bamboo that upon entering deeper into the maze of sticks, names and quotes
would be etched into the bamboo.

Recently I have been more involved with the gum trees, which have a more
sensual liner form, and my love for the Australian. Each gum is etched with
names; dates and quotes depicting the history from where the gum came.
