The paintings contain geometries of colour in layers, so that the painting plane is shaped into a visual experience of depth and circulation. In recent years I have often worked with pentagonal geometries, using permanent, water-based mediums for paintings on canvas and board. Sequences of glass panels with kiln-fired colours also reflect my painting concerns.
Consistency in the paintings over time is apparent in the construction of colour relations, extending back to the mid-1970’s when I began exhibiting professionally in Australia. My painting practice has been influenced by feminist concerns since that time. Exhibitions in New Zealand and Australia.
