Terra Incognita
I am living in Launceston Tasmania, high up on Talbot Road. Opposite the concrete water tower with the spiral staircase. Over the road from where my friend Carmel Bird grew up.
I was immersed in the idea of different world views co-existing. I drew and painted my view of Mt Arthur, and in response to Carmel's novels, The White Garden, and Cherry Ripe.
Over a year I observe and paint Mount Arthur as I see it from my studio window. The paintings show changes in the atmosphere over a year - changes in tone, colour, texture and movement.
I photograph the paintings and work with software engineer Ruth Luxford to make an animated interactive "year clock". We envisage an installation where people can turn the hands of a clock displayed on a touch screen, and enter a virtual maze - a metaphor for the human mind - inspired by an ancient Celtic pattern. The aim was to offer people a sense of the creative process, of opening the mind to freely associate, and allow recognition of relationships not hitherto seen, between spoken and written words, sounds, pictures and animations.
Before they could be properly photographed and catalogued, many of the pictures made for this project were destroyed or damaged in a house fire in Melbourne.
