10 Seconds to A Yellow Artwork
The 10 seconds nature offers me to make a digital work and how nature reveals the work
Pollock’s Pool (150 x 100 cm) emerged during the creation of the Art of Navy project. At the outset, I faced a challenge: how could I capture reflections from the surface of the water when the dark grey hulls of the warships seemed to dissolve into the equally dark blue of the harbour? I was unsure if there was even an image to be found.
Hiroshi Sugimoto once said, “What the eye sees is not what the camera sees.” That thought lies at the heart of Distances in Reflection, but in truth, it runs through all of my work.
The Sand Talk Collection has always been about listening to the dialogue between sandstone and water. Sydney sandstone, with its ochres and golds, carries an ancient presence. When reflected on water, it shifts and rewrites itself, becoming a living map of the land.
Beneath a Golden Horizon is my latest addition to the LandEscapes Collection. The work, and the fluid, dream-like animation that accompanies it, delves deeper into the central themes that have driven this series from its inception: the porous boundary between perception and imagination, and the creative power of ambiguity.
I am delighted to introduce a brand-new addition to my most successful series, the Impressions of a Turner Landscape Collection. Unlike earlier works in the series, which I numbered, this new piece carries a more descriptive title: Sunrise.
