Artist Statement:
When I discovered an
Aboriginal midden on a
headland south of Sydney, I
became fascinated by the
blackened shell remnants from
this ancient cooking fire.
Originally my drawings were
inspired by a direct response
to the sensual beauty and
delicate texture of these
broken shells. Later they
became an expression of a
deeper understanding of their
particular history and of
their general symbolic
significance. My present
obsessive and almost religious
relationship with these shells
and their environment will
hopefully continue to inform
my work in the future....
