AN ODE TO BOYD
Painting
Acrylic paint on paper
My body of work connects me to my identity as a Samoan, Lebanese and Australian girl. The work contains a range of erratic and unpredictable brush strokes, using acrylic paints, boar bristle paint brushes, pallet knife and impasto. I incorporate the deliberate use of the body, including hands and palms, with the intention of representing my emotional state or energy at the moment of creation.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following: Arthur Boyd, Shoalhaven Riverbank and Trees, Landscape of the soul; the landscapes of Bundanon, Gordons Bay, Afu Aau waterfall Samoa.
