I have found canvas panels a useful medium for trying out new things. Unlike stretched canvas, the lightness of these panels has released me to work freely and to experiment with medium and form -to draw with paint and to paint as I would draw -sitting down and holding a panel in my lap.
Also, coming here to Australia has put humans in front of me as a subject of my work -clear light and empty never ending streets made their figures look more like an expression of loneliness then anything else.
Schoolboy, Pigs and Angel Wings DETAIL, 2009. (Oil on canvas panel)
