Artist Statement

My work often references the landscape of my country, Australia, the intimacy of domestic still life objects and the scale relationships between these two genres. To create images, reflect on, and ‘dream of peace’ within these spheres is a privilege I treasure.

我的画作是以澳大利亚的本土风景和静物为蓝本,风景和静物两者形态上的分别和两者的关系成为我创作和平之梦的理念,我很荣幸能以这些图象来反映和平之梦
