‘Viscount at Palm Beach’   2014

Linoprint on paper
37.5cm x 27.5cm
Limited edition of 25

 

I have enjoyed many camping and caravanning holidays over the years, and own a vintage caravan, so this series is revisiting those fond memories. A fishing tackle box and bucket, a stripy annexe, the amenities block and some pine trees are how I remember it all.

‘The Old Southport’   2014

Handcoloured Linoprint on paper
27.5cm x 37cm
Limited edition of 25

 

Address unknown
Inspired by an archival photo, I just loved the garage doors on this house and its symmetry. I’m not sure if the doors were ever blue, but it seemed the perfect hue.

‘Pandanus Tectorius Odoratissimus’ 2014

Handcoloured Linoprint on paper
55cm x 75cm
Limited Edition of 25

Another study of my favourite tree, and its curious fruits.
I love the contrast of the oranges and reds against the green of the leaves, and the texture and shapes of the fruit.
Each of these prints are individually hand coloured so each is a unique artwork.

‘Pandanus Shade’   2014

Linoprint on paper
33.5cm x 44cm
Limited edition of 20

 

My favourite tree is the pandanus, with its geometric spiral leaf growth and its strange buttress roots. I have made many works over the years of these trees and its fruit in many media, with this a study of the unusual root structure. I have enjoyed many beach picnics in their shade, and they say ‘beach’ to me always.

‘Palm Beach Glimpse’   2014

Handcoloured Linoprint on paper
22cm x 15cm
Limited edition of 20

 

94 Cypress Terrace, Palm Beach.
A glimpse over the fence is often all we see of some older houses these days, and this cutie was spotted for its striking paint scheme and classic rooflines.

‘Morning Walk, Kirra’   2014

Linoprint on paper
75cm x 34.5cm
Limited edition of 20

 

13 Douglas Street, Kirra.
The first in my ongoing series of ‘viewfinder’ prints, where I focus on interesting fences and letterboxes from a low angle. I have revisited one of my favourite addresses, and added a local resident walking their dog.

‘Mint at Miami’   2014

Handcoloured Linoprint on paper
22cm x 15cm
Limited edition of 20

 

51 Petrel Avenue, Miami.
Another of my ‘dream homes’, I discovered recently it is also up for sale. I wonder if it will survive to house more families happily.

‘Kirra Court’   2014

Handcoloured Linoprint on paper
27.5cm x 37.5cm
Limited edition of 25

 

4 Lord Street, Coolangatta.
The yellow handrails and retro typography on this block of units always makes me smile, and it had to be included in this series. I hope to always see examples of this architecture on the Gold Coast.

‘Jan’s Place’   2014

Linoprint on paper
55cm x 75cm
Limited edition of 20

 

Burrows Street, Biggera Waters.
A close friend’s house which features blonde brick and a beautiful breezeblock carport. The Poinciana tree frames the view to the canal perfectly. I substituted a more period correct vehicle and neighbouring houses in the final artwork.

‘Fishing Trip’   2014

Linoprint on paper
37.5cm x 27.5cm
Limited edition of 25

 

Inspired by a friend’s Bondwood van, I imagine this one being the base for a great weekend of fishing and yarns.
