Figure in the urban landscape, solo show at Robin Gibson Gallery 2008
These etchings and paintings were created between 2007 and 2008. The work explores the figure in the urban landscape depicting vernacular scenes from my everyday life. The characters perform mundane rituals of urban life, in transit, having lunch or simply waiting. Not only does the landscape define us, we also play and important role in defining the landscape that we inhabit.

In this series, each image is constructed from three etching plates that are repeatedly reused and recombined. A single plate — often derived from one geographic location — is printed across multiple compositions and overlapped with plates from different landscapes. An Australian landscape may intersect with a Greek or American site, producing composite terrains that cannot exist in reality.
Through this process of reuse and overlay, the work considers memory as migratory rather than fixed. Place is not singular or stable; it is carried, transferred and reassembled. The repetition of plates creates both continuity and disruption, reflecting how recollection overlays past experience onto the present.

Visible but Intangible: A Print Exchange Portfolio
Sydney PrintmakersThe landscape we travel through often recalls another place. We interpret new environments through the lens of past experience, where familiarity emerges from memory rather than geography alone. Tangible scenery merges with remembered fragments, shaping how the present is perceived.
Created through combined digital and monoprint processes, these works layer motion-blurred landscapes with immediate drawn interventions. Fragments of observed and remembered scenes are overlaid, allowing multiple locations to coexist within a single image. The process is driven by an instinctive response to place, reflecting the fluid interplay between landscape and personal memory.

These works combine digital transfers of etching and painted fragments with roadside imagery. Analogue marks are layered over contemporary infrastructure, drawing attention to how roads interrupt and reshape landscape.
Developed from the experience of driving and recalling what existed before the road, the images consider how memory persists beneath imposed structures. Trees partially obscure the roadway, suggesting both disruption and continuity within the landscape.
