Walk on the Wild Side

To walk on the wild side leads to imaginings of freedom in an uninhibited environment, without restrictions, rules, or limitations.

I have walked in the wild of my surrounding environment, a natural location, engaging with the changing seasons through plants. I watched when they slept in Winter, when new little sprouts of green pushed through, expanded, and produced amazing colours. I saw colours fade and blooms drop, along with leaves that fell or shrivelled in the cold, which was a sign of sleeping again.

On most walks I have collected the beauty of these wild things, choosing size, shape, and patterns of foliage to arrange on my printing plate.  Layering colours and form that intermingle with hand cut and commercial stencils, I have created a series of artworks using a vast array of plant species, and their quirky titles allow us to reminiscent on the multitude of different characteristics of those who walked the wild before me, and those who now live and connect in suburban environments.

When you have time pop into the cafe to enjoy their very warm hospitality and view my artworks.Located at 272 Yarra Street, on the East side of the bridge, Warrandyte, Arthurs Creek Coffee Co. is open:  Mon - Fri 6:30am - 2pm and Saturday 7:30am -3pm.
