About The Artwork
This work is a personal response to the events at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. I am particularly struck by the depersonalisation of the elderly and infants receiving radiation screening. One minute you're a mum going shopping, a bit of technology reacts when placed near you by an anonymous masked figure in a white-cowled blue-striped suit, and next minute your social status changes to that of 'public safety risk' and 'medical case', through no fault or choice of your own. Meanwhile, the people responsible are 'too upset' to actually apologize on TV. They rest, as neo-samurai, wearing the white and blue-striped suits, wade into radioactive waters.

i live and paint in Tasmania, the island down under the Land Downunder my current interest lies in expressive mark-making in portrait painting . i am finding a rich vein in the literature on material thinking - the agency of media and notion co-responsibility in creative practice deriving from the thinking of Heidegger recent work has been a series of self portraits exploring the emotions associated with aging and entering old age . here i have sought to express the grief over progressively failing physical and mental powers, grief over the loss of parents, and the grief over one's own mortality . currently i am working on the emotionally recollected family based on old family snaps and recollections from childhood presently half way through a Masters of Contemporary Arts degree
