The Incinerator Art Space.
​THE WATER'S EDGE

THE WATER'S EDGE.  A new series of original oil paintings.
​ I paint from the remembered landscape I carry around.  Drawing from fragments of nature and pieces of foreshores.  Painting colour layers of landscape through to the harbour surface. Oil painting on linen with brushes and palette knives layered carefully over weeks. That becomes transformed into an emotional and expressive abstract landscape style.

Object + Image

New paintings by Peter Finlay and Jane Guthleben - a conversation between two artists sharing a studio. 
Both recent graduates from UNSW Art and Design, Guthleben and Finlay bring different approaches to explore the ordinary - paper for Guthleben; flowers for Finlay - in works that reflect on time, loss, memory and renewal.

Master of Art, UNSW art & design group exhibition.

Walking is the initial practice, to see what catches my eye, to source location, to experience the motif.  In Contact sheet, I picture these moments as a form of walking proof to being present: immersed in the visual world and making sense of it in paint, reflecting memory, subliminal colour, ambiguous mark making with abstract echoes of landscape.  Painting maybe a kind of breathing space to reflect the rhythm of life and the world around us.
