A weight lifting, feeling lighter, freer.  The exquisite moment of clarity and peace emerging after  stress, anxiousness or confusion.  The Release expresses an almost meditative state, journeying inward, releasing tensions and succumbing to the moment.

The Release is part of a series of work that attempts to capture the essence of emotions and the triggers for emotional response.

The Release

The Spectrum of Desire is the first in a new series of work that attempts to capture the essence of emotions and the triggers for emotional response.  This piece reflects the positive aspects of desire, how wishing and longing for something can lead to progress, creativity and joy.  It also reflects the darker outcomes of desire, in human obsession and longing that can lead to selfish behaviour, with little or no compassion for others or the consequences of action.

The Spectrum of Desire

It wasn't until I was 14 when Hockney's bold and diverse artwork entered my world at his Retrospection exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London. It continues to fascinate me how any artist can evolve their style and interest so radically, and this is certainly the case with Hockney.  

When some friends recently purchased Mansfield House in Sydney's St Ives, a 1960's Palm Springs-style home, I immediately thought of Hockney and his paintings from this era.  I wanted to recreate the clean, crisp lines and the flat blue of the sky, but add in some elements to make this fun and uniquely Sydney.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I have loved creating it.
