Kaleidoscope city / Hong Kong 2025.
Dropping a line to let you know about a new series of paintings I will be showing soon in Hong Kong.
I first visited and made work there in 2017 and since then I have been returning to the City as often as I can. I can trace my fascination back to my early childhood and a painting my grandmother did of a boat in the Hong Kong Harbour. I grew up without television and largely in the sparse cultural and visual remoteness of outback Australia and so the painting was something of a portal to a place where colour and life existed beyond what I knew in my day to day. The painting hung in the many houses we lived in and somehow became a fixture in my psyche and in my developing imagination.This is the power of art and why living with it in your domestic environment can never be understated. I often think of the children who grow up around my work and I wonder what influence it is having on the way they perceive the world around them.
It is with great pleasure then, that I announce my upcoming exhibition at the Soluna Fine Art Gallery this opens on the 4th of December 2025. Please feel free to contact the gallery directly for a catalogue and with any purchase enquiries. I have poured much life force into this series and it captures something of the kaleidoscopic, dreamlike, ethereal wonderland that is the space I occupy best In my otherworldly way. A place of colour and connection and contrast. Imagining our human self as much more than just bodies on the earthy plane, but connected as always to the past, present and future.
Thank you to all of you here who supports my practice. When you collect or share my work, you allow me to keep investing in its expansion. It is my belief that creativity is a powerful tool for connection and remembrance and that it is via creative vulnerability that we are comforted in the human experience.
