About the work...
The Bomen series for me, represents a focusing of the ways I’ve been painting in a more direct manner, and to use the subject as a vehicle to drive the work. The subject is important in these paintings but is not necessarily what they’re about. I use the landscape as a way in to painting, to help direct composition and to inform space. The paintings are really about colour relationships, and about form and space within a pictorial arrangement.
The idea of painting my garden appealed to me because it’s a space that’s very personal. I tend to it and care for it, our family comes together in it, and it’s where we relax. It’s an interesting space with its ad hoc landscape, planted by all the people who have lived in this house over the years.
Coincidentally, painting this environment has uncovered the value and beauty in what is so easily taken for granted. As a society we tend to place large amounts of value upon expensive things, and little value on everyday things. Through making these paintings, I have learnt that beauty can be found in one’s own backyard, and am reminded to take time to nurture an appreciation of what we already have.
