Passionflower
Recent Paintings at Project Gallery 90,90, Oxford Street, Paddington Sydney
​10th-24nd November 2022

​A passionflower vine grows wild outside my studio. It’s incredibly vigorous, snaking its way through and around other plants. And the flowers themselves are extravagant creations. But, despite the eye-catching floral glamour, it was really the leaves and their journey on the trailing vines that captured my attention. They’re a perfect device for taking the eye on a trip through the painting.
These works, though based around a small subject – the passionflower – include some of the largest I have made. To render these flowers and other elements at a scale so much larger than life invites a heightened intimacy; a sense that, like Alice in Wonderland, one has shrunk enough to be immersed in a slightly magical world.
Maintaining focus on a single subject - the passionflower - and exploring small variations on this consistent theme has been a challenge for my restless nature, but I hope this exhibition offers the sense of being deep inside a secret garden where the passionflowers reign.
