This series of work explores the impact of close-ups and fragmentation. Small details, presented as finished works, appear abstract and dramatic. A wider perspective may reveal them as the mundane objects that they really are; objects that burden our lives: a kitsch vase, a replica Murano ashtray.

These paintings were exhibited in the group show All I Wish, Black Cat Gallery, 1103 Burke Road, Hawthorn East, 1-20 December, 2016
