My excitement for painting doesn’t diminish with time as I continue experimenting using chance and random marks. Along with plant net-veins, by-products and found objects they continue supporting my key concept of variety, and the elegance of Post Minimal processes adding to the excitement. This year I finally settled into a routine in my ‘back of garage studio space’ in Lane Cove and fitted into a more productive direction.
