Beauty is all around, 2017-18
Australians have an outsider’s perspective on the rest of the world, and now after living in Europe for the past seven years I feel that I have both an outsider’s and insider’s perspective on Australia, which allows me to see my home country through new eyes. While art isn’t much appreciated in Australia, where cultural identity veers towards sport, I have tried to depict the places I passed through as works of art. The scenes appear like an assemblage, or a scene from a mysterious production.
