“Each Tuesday I take a group plein-air painting at various locations in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. These works began during these excursions and were completed in the studio. Sitting in situ can feel transgressive in the busy city, and therapeutic in providing a primary experience of place that is framed geographically by the harbour and the sea. The fleeting effect of light also makes us aware of our place in time, challenging one to respond in the unfolding moment, while pockets of nature evoke the Dreamtime and the built environment documents the history since Colonisation. The difficult pleasure of constructing a composition requires one to find a unit of measure within the landscape, which can reveal an interesting geometric order even in the most contemporary vista. I enjoy finding a sense of the classical and romantic within the flux of the city.”
