[STAY GOLD series]

Acrylic on canvas

30 x 30cm

Iris is the messenger to the gods and she lives in the full spectrum of Rainbow Road which is actually an interminable roundabout since rainbows are, in fact, full circles. From the ground only the light reflected by the raindrops in the arc above the horizon can be seen.

She spends her days pacing around and around as she delivers her messages, keeping a sharp eye out for the gilded realisation of her hopes and dreams, but, as she never reaches the end of the rainbow, only the emptiness of fool’s gold slips through her fingers.

Available to purchase

I-AM-O-PEN-D explores the chemical link between music and emotion. Dopamine is often called the ‘motivation molecule’ because it provides the drive and focus needed for productivity by operating on repetition, memory and attention. The human brain surges with dopamine when listening to the favourite moments in songs which results in feelings of reward and pleasure.

Allegra, meaning joyful, from the musical term ‘allegro’, is holding a golden pen as she listens while the bubbles of dopamine froth through her body and trigger creativity. I Am Open’d is one to unscramble!

Martia is 4.6 billion years old. Her name means warlike, of Mars.

COSMOS is a series of paintings which explores the dimension of space, depicting the planets, stars, moon, sun, galaxies and light as women. The Space Cowgirls, Eartha, Martia and Julia, are the personification of the respective planets, Earth, Mars and Jupiter. Ancient and full of powerful mass and energy, their bodies are free-falling. Pulled by the force of gravity strapped within their star-spangled bras, they attract and orbit each other as they travel the space highway through infinite time.

[STAY GOLD series]

Acrylic on canvas (unframed)

50.5 x 50.5cm

February 2018

Heathcliff, it’s me, Coralie. Come home, I’m so cold. Let me in through your window. ~ Kate Bush

So, millenials, before Lorde there was Kate Bush. Things I have in common with this babooshka: born in Kent, went to school in Ashford, lived in Eltham (London, Straya… whatevs), read Wuthering Heights, and became the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song, aged just 19. Last one just Kate actually. Also technically 1978.

The woman with burning sunset eyes is called Coralie. At first I thought Coral because it sounds a bit Eighties, but I think she’s on a French beach in the Med so… you know. Then I googled it: “Coralie” is a popular 19th century jewel baby name from the name of the pink semi-precious sea growth used to make jewellery and ornaments. Cha-ching! We’re on the same page.

INSTANT ORANGE CRUSH is inspired by sun worship, the beach sunsets of oversized 1980s wallpaper posters and the overblown pop love songs by empowered diva heroines of the same decade. It explores the nostalgia we feel for past loves through rose tinted sunglasses and questions the idea that nothing gold can stay.

This painting has been powered by Whitney, Tina, Annie, Madonna and Kate.

 

I See You opens 6-8pm on Thursday 1 March at  Incube8r Gallery, 321 Smith Street, Fitzroy. A group exhibition focussing on portraiture, the theme explores Lovers, Idols, Heros: a window to the soul. Artists provide portraits of the subjects they care about, be they those they hold dear, or those they idolise completely. Exhibition runs until 13 March.
