Smashed Screens

I'm excited to have some new work in this group show with a bunch of other great artists at Delmar Gallery next month.

SMASHED SCREENS, curated by Priscilla Bourne.

Shadowplay

Acrylic on board with Tasmanian oak coverstrap moulding. [111 x 51cm approx.]

These monochrome works mimic the look of architectural elements from suburban homes, like the one I grew up in, with a rear extension of fibro-cement wall cladding and expressed joints.

The composition is slightly raised from the board with a rolled Tasmanian oak strapping that cover the butted joints. The curved edges of the strapping catch the light and throw a shadow at the bottom edge. This shadow play gives the monochromatic finish a new depth with light to dark tones changing as the light changes.

These experiments will be taken further with new compositions and variations in scale and form.
