"Internal Meanderings" 2021
Finalist work in the 2021 Sulman Prize: Art Gallery of NSW website I am looking for an intrinsic harmony within the tactile absurdity of excessive paint. The drive to create this series of abstract paintings is a response to our current epoch. In a personal sense, the paintings help me to work things out in a highly disrupted world. The paintings and the painting process help transcend the current over-saturation of news feeds, threats of conflict, and ever-growing pandemic statistics. The title is a quote from Mary Gabriel’s book Ninth street women, where she says the postwar abstract expressionist artists’ response to a highly disrupted world was to ‘strip the artwork of all life except for their own internal meanderings’.

"Escarpment Forest" 2021
Finalist work in the 2021 Wynne Prize: Art Gallery of NSW website In this painting, I wanted to capture the native angophora trees on the Wodi Wodi walking track near Stanwell Park. The track is named after the original custodians of the land in the Illawarra in NSW and can be found on an escarpment containing the most extensive area of rainforest in the Sydney basin. The area acts as an important refuge for species that are affected by environmental disturbances such as development and bushfires. The 500-metre-high escarpment provides a dramatic backdrop to my local town of Thirroul and spans 200 million years of geological history. Ashley Frost, 2021 |
