The Interior of Home comprises paintings depicting the artist’s homes, from childhood to the present. Our lives fill the interior spaces with our energy – our moods, aspirations, disappointments, fears, traumas, joy, celebrations – connections with ourselves and others. They hold our possessions and provide space for us to sleep, eat, wash, rest, play, relate, interact, think, create and daydream.

Every home has a feeling, a kinaesthetic sensation that fills the space and these paintings engage with the unique energy of the places they depict. The body of work also explores the more formal concerns of space, line, shape, tone and colour. It plays with spatial relationships, flat space and pattern. While these interiors are specific and personal, they also seek to take us to a space we may have known, remembered or imagined.

Exhibition opens: 3–5pm Saturday 10 August 2019
