My art practice has long held a deep connection to place and the opportunity to visually and viscerally connect to many places in remote and regional Queensland, Australia is the inspiration for the 'Patterns of my Days’ component within the title of this exhibition. Over many years I have travelled across the landscape of the eastern states of Australia by car and plane. Some were short 3 day working visits; others part of extended family holidays. Flying into locations and viewing the land from the air has long held a fascination for me artistically. Impressions of place and changes in geographical landscapes have long been a source of inspiration. Arriving in different localities, photographing the landscape, buildings and the nature, picking up seedpods and ephemera – this became a source of inspiration incorporating found plant fibre, materials, paper ephemera within the body of work.
