Water in all its state and forms
This is a series inspired by various trips to Australia and the result of several residencies in Italy. I particularly focused on the mini-world of rock pools, waterfalls, rivers and the ocean., all of which I am drawn to because it is so mesmerising to view the water patterns, the changing of forms, shapes and colour as it moves about.

This is a series inspired by various trips to Australia and the result of several residencies in Italy. I particularly focused on the mini-world of rock pools, waterfalls, rivers and the ocean., all of which I am drawn to because it is so mesmerising to view the water patterns, the changing of forms, shapes and colour as it moves about. I am drawn to the energetic power of water, the connection it holds to our well being, the life giving force and the transformative journey from bubble to foam, to droplet to rain, to ice and crystals. In creating these diverse artworks, I realise the fragile its a realm that is serene as well as violent. This series is a testament to the endless possibilities that water represents.
Why am I so obsessed with rockpools and rivers? When you look at it in another perspective, it seems like there is another micro world in play here. It is a special place where I appreciate the precious moments of connection with the origins of life and nature. The marine life in rockpools go through challenges just like we do, however, their conditions are more dangerous and unstable. The pushing, shoving, thrashing from the tidal waves, then the exposure to varying temperatures, not forgetting the hazardous weather patterns: wind, rain and sun.
There is also beauty of colour, form and pattern: the rock striations, the cracks and crevices filled in with an array of sea shells, barnacles and other micro organisms. I am mesmerized by the transient quality of this world.
