When I am in Melbourne it is my ‘local,’ I love to go there and sit in-front of one of the large square windows that frame the verdant view of the gardens. The owner – James Murphy is the other reason one would visit – he is an entrepreneurial social worker that helps people connect with their community.

One of the voting options was an ‘Artist in Residency’ and rather than doing a few hours of demonstrative painting, I decided to create a work that would be enduring within the space; enhancing that experience of being momentarily distracted through the pure aspect of colour.

The sweeping gestures are sometimes translucent, sometimes solid, and constantly shifting with the varying sunshine that spills into the space.
