The drawn objects tend to be situated in a blank space, and I play around with form by leaving parts of objects unfinished or filled in as silhouettes. Something that has become a defining feature of my work is the image of the pile. Drawing piles of things appeals to me because there is something interesting about seeing an object in a group of other like objects — there are the formal elements of pattern and repetition, but I think there is also something poetic and maybe melancholy about these piles. I keep drawing piles as a way of finding out for myself what this poetic element is. I like Melbourne because it is not restricted by particular styles or trends, or defined by a narrow group of people. That makes it very dynamic, because I think creative people in Melbourne feel relatively free with the forms and styles they experiment with. There is a sense of fun. It’s inspiring for me because I believe creative people end up being truer to themselves and producing a higher quality of work if they are not continually trying to keep up’.
