<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Experiencing
the stark and minimal forms of the Antarctic environment has had a profound
influence upon my work. I bring this fascination with geological processes
and landforms to my <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Chatham</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Island</st1:placetype></st1:place> experience. This

<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The small volcanic cones once submerged now rise out
of a sea of purple brown scrubland to meet an expanse of cloud and sky, a
landscape of space and light. Patterns
of light and shade illuminate the land as cloud is blown across the sky. The basalt
columns lining the coast at Ohira are a stark contrast to this. These pentagonal
columns, uncanny in their resemblance to man made structures, rise above the
sea formed by the slow cooling lava of ancient volcanic eruptions, the darkness
of stone evoking subterranean origins. A southerly wind whips up white foam
on the swells rolling in to crash against rock, white on black, horizontal against vertical. One
place reflects light and colour the other absorbs it intensifying the contrast
between light and dark<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The visit was of short
duration but this intensified the experience and has forced me to focus upon the
essentials, filtered by time and memory. My intention is to express what I felt as well as what I saw. The push and
drag of brush stroke, the substance of paint and texture, the movement of the
hand recreating the movement of wind & water, the pattern of rock forms, is
the day to day biography of creating a painting. The internal and external
landscape meeting in these images of the islands at the end of the weather report.</span></span><br />

This was a statement I wrote to accompany the work</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Artist’s Statement </b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On reflecting upon the idea of translucency and how it
is expressed in my practice I began to think how it relates to clarity of
memories of landscapes that have had significance for me. The obscuring agent can be water, mist, or in
this case time. The last time I went to the Antarctic was late in 2001 (a
summer with white nights). How much is the remembered image in the mind’s eye
based upon photos rather than the actual experience? The actual memory is foggy and incomplete
without the photo as a reminder of specific details.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-NZ"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> When I was
preparing for this show I thought images of <st1:place w:st="on">Antarctica</st1:place>
would express the idea of translucency with the subtle semi- transparent <st1:personname w:st="on">blue</st1:personname>s and greens of ice contrasting with the black
lava outcrops and partially obscured with drifting veils of cloud with cobalt
shadows cast upon the snowfields. I went
through my slides and found images I’d abandoned, looked again and saw possibilities
that I’d missed 10 years ago. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I have often
found that an insignificant photo can make a good starting point for a painting
with more possibilities for creating something that goes beyond the original
image. There is a point when the photo is abandoned as reference material and
the painted image dictates the next step resulting in a parallel entity with
its own reality, communicating a sensation of movement and expansion beyond the
frame. </span></div>
