In my work, I am creating compressed versions of the Australian environment where indigenous species are competing for space between the introduced flora and fauna.
I start with research and images of the particular species and then assemble my palette. I am inspired by colour combination and patterns that I see in everyday life, in nature and design. My process is playing with patterns, colour and negative space to see what emerges and take risks, do something I haven’t done before. Behind the playfulness is the question, can there eventually be a harmonious balance between the different species?
