Curve Series
“Curves; my latest body of work, is an expression of energy and movement. Thick layers of textural colour draw attention to the painting’s surface and physicality, contributing to the overall movement and dynamism. Opposing curves are carved into the thick upper layers of paint to reveal underlying colour, form and texture within the work.
"These pieces are inspired by the Creation story from Māori mythology, which I became interested in while researching for a painting I was creating for a 2022 Matariki exhibition. This series currently has two branches; Creation and Storm."
Creation
"Each unique piece from ‘Creation’ is composed of gestural strokes - Ranginui (Sky Father) as a group of downward facing curves, and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother) as upward arching curves. In the beginning they are laying together in darkness in a close embrace."
Storm
"Each unique piece from the ‘Storm’ series is composed of directional gestural strokes, multiple transparent layers, and opposing curves visualising the elements unleashed by Tāwhirimātea (God of weather). He was angry about not being consulted when his brothers separated his parents Ranganui & Papatūānuku to let light into the world."
