| Statement: |
| Journeys of the Mind: Italy
My aim is to convey a sense of mystery and a suggestion of timeless drama. The series developed from memories of my travel to Italy. I remember the feeling of awe upon entering the Piazza del Duomo in Florence - the magnificence of the architecture, the sense of space and my place in it. Similarly, in Venice I was entranced by the fluid, watery beauty of this unique city and its opulence, rich in history and intrigue.
Much like the layers of history in these ancient cities, these paintings are built up in layers. A base mixed media collage creates a perception of history and decaying opulence. The surface is then layered with wax and photographic images and drawings generated during my travels. The layers of wax mirror the layers of Italian history and my memories to construct a rich visual tapestry.
