T H E W A T T L E R O O M

I first created The Wattle Room back in 2007 when I was awarded the National Art School Sydney, Tim Storrier and

Annette Onslow Residency at Cite Internationale des Arts Paris.

An extraordinary inspiring time for myself where I was able to visit museums and exhibitions on offer, meet other

international artists, and have my own first solo exhibition there. To have concentrated time to fully nurture my

arts and poetry.

My art has always been informed by poetry and literature, reminding me that the ancient art of story telling, our

stories as to what it mean to be human and feelings will never change.

While in Paris I developed a love of Samuel Beckett's novella's poems and plays. As serendipty would have it, his

play Happy Days was on in Paris. The exaggeration of narrative form and absurdity very much appealed to me and

became the seed for my own creativity in all it's many forms.

And so The Wattle Room came into it's own of a three dimensional book with a diaristic approach,

and each exhibition represents a chapter in my life and my feelings at the time.

Themes of identity, mortality, landscape and interior eccentric spaces, gallop through my art.
