Maison Souquet Bar 78 x 103cm

Artist Statement:
“All these new works have been produced over the last eighteen months for Harvey Galleries, Sydney.
As a visual artist, a good artwork should never reveal all its secrets to you in one hit. In my opinion the best art, in any museum or gallery, forces you to return and when you do, it reveals to you (and only you) something more. Sometimes this experience takes hours, or even days, before you get there. You could liken the event to listening to a serious musical piece.
I have always been interested in pictures within pictures. Placing you, the viewer in a vertiginous space, hovering inside a dwelling, half-way up a tree, crossing a road, or about to enter the room. From the inside to the out, in an imagined world.”
