2008 Italian Series

RAMI oil on linen 122 x 183cm– inaugural St Patricks Art Prize 2008 The word is Venetian for branch and refers to the dead end streets that exist throughout Venice. The dark blue black tends to indicate the mystery of these streets and also the random maze like layout. The complex bright colour between introduced to convey some of the life force and gaiety of the festival.

OMBRA oil on linen 122 x 183cm Italian for shadow. This changing phenomena was particularly evident throughout Venice. The feeling of subtlety and nuance pervaded much of the streetscape and canal system.

MURMUR oil on linen 112 x 76cm This work developed from the sound of night and the way colour dances and darkens in night spaces for example on water surfaces and architecture.

DORSODURA Oil on linen 102 x 76cm A quiet residential precinct like a small suburb but with a gentle. Almost calm feeling to it, quiet and different from the tourist havens in and around the Rialto and San Marco.

'lamplight' pastel on paper The drawing ‘Lamplight’ forms part of a series of paintings and drawings based around the theme of light rays and the complexities that they evoke through shadow, colour and mood. This drawing explored the art deco lamps my father designed and made in the 1940’s. These brass lamps using tinted, frosted glass emitted a mysterious soft light within the home and each room had a different barely discernable colour that set the room and it’s function apart from the others. The lamp shape forms a central motif with bands or rays spreading out consisting of multi coloured marks puncturing the dark.
