“This series was inspired by sailing ventures with my brother last summer on Sydney Harbour - an exhilarating experience with a liberating sense of space in relation to the city, sky and harbour features.  These include its famous bridge, opera house and grinning Luna Park facade, as well as its islands that have become relics of their convict histories and former maritime and industrial functions. I was impressed with the democratic space that the harbour provides for commuters on the iconic green and gold ferries and through a range of leisure craft. Here one is very conscious of our place in the natural world and its formidable power especially when under a sail, an ancient technology harnessing renewable energy. As an artist more comfortable painting streetscapes in which the architectural subject does not move, the fluid aspect of water and atmospheric skies provided a new challenge, along with the motion of watercraft within this flux.  The end result, in places, is more painterly.”
