Stay Awhile follows three distinct themes, of love, loss and finding home. Reflections and reverberations. This collection explores these notions, in a visual and textual pairing. Prose and painting taking a plutonic presence on the walls, weaving a visual and symbolic narrative.

Prose drifts from the urban to existential, while the paintings follow a more direct path. There is a reverence present in the works. That for the Australian bush, in all its complexities, beauty and diversity, it embodies a sense of home and of place, unique in its own right.  

This collection of paintings, installations and poetry invites the viewer to follow along, in this brief journey and as the title suggests, Stay Awhile.

Midnight studies

 

The Start of the End of Things

 

The Start of the End of Things

 

 

Flustered sighs and unkept misgivings

Boil and spill over

Like unwatched pasta.

Only to settle again,

When fires momentarily quell.

The undercurrents stir still

Waiting, and amplifying reverberations

Of disquietude.

An unsettling notion to witness.

Cold and unforgiving,

The stony glances and frost ridden replies

Crust over a place once warm with love.

I guess this is the start of,

The end of things.

 

 

Sailing Home

 

Sailing Home

 

 

Before your ship sails,

And the sun sets behind the gumtrees,

Sit a while longer.

Let us bask in the fading embers,

Of life and loves embrace,

Till what will be,

We’ll see.
