This is a painting of two sisters, the daughters of my dear friends, depicted in their garden with their chickens. In this work I wanted to experiment with depth within a 2D plane, encouraging the eye to draw into the depth of the background but at the same time creating flat elements to stop the eye abruptly from receding but rather, keeping the eye moving around the foreground. In doing, different planes were created in a theatrical way like backdrops on a stage spaced at intervals.
I am very much interested in how I as an artist can control the viewers eye, moving it around the painting in the order that I choose, in an orchestrated fashion using tones, colours and shapes.
This painting was a finalist in the Wollumbin Art Prize 2024
