Ephemeral

I have been making ephemeral artworks in the bush for many years. These works happen spontaneously to respond to the time of day, the season, the weather… I regard them as my ‘drawing practice’ as  they teach me about form, function, relationships and much more…

I published a book in 2014 called ephemeral which featured ephemeral artworks curated with some of my poetry.

These works are a response to a moment in time in the cycle of life in a wild place, they use only what I find where I am.

Sometimes find myself making works where nature-made elements interact with human-made sites and materials…

Ephemera – the Art of the Impermanent, 2016
Black Gully, New England Regional Art Museum, Armidale, NSW

Over this two week residency I made many small and not-so-small ephemeral artworks from whatever materials presented themselves.
