I was sorting through some of my early works that had been stored away, and was interested to see these works again after a period of time. It gave me an opportunity to see my journey from my student days to being an emerging artist. I found it to be very instructive to look back and see my artistic progression so I decided to include a number of these early pieces in this show. These works have never been exhibited before outside of the TAFE “Karoona Gallery”, and I have decided to call my part of this Exhibition “Recycling” as I am reviving some of my interesting early works to form a mini retrospective. My personal feeling is to be free of any rules; I draw and paint using my imagination, fusing the past and the present of my life, taking advantage of my old age and using my entire life experience. I hope the viewers can understand my works and my emotion as an abstract artist. |
