Mapping Place

Gippsland Art Gallery

4 March - 21 May 2023

​

Based on the Sale street grid and surrounding environmental wetlands, I created large-scale and immersive paintings from maps.  I conduct investigations that look at the crossovers between memory and place through the process of data mapping and colour field painting.

 

With this series, I have created a collection focusing on the Sale (Gippsland) township in and around Foster Street, then onto the rivers around Clydebank, Riverside Reserve, and beyond. As a continuation of my existing practice, where I have looked in recent studies at topographical placements of data through the subject, I seek to better understand this methodological process by wanting to develop new works that continue my interest in data mapping.

 

In my practice, I have used non-representational forms through hard-edge abstraction that are then compiled onto canvas.
