From the Sidelines

From the Sidelines is a series of still lifes which recall the nostalgia of an Australian summer and reflect the artist’s current state of being. Capturing the rigid pastel chairs that fuse to skin on hot days, positioned between the bold hard lines of tennis courts. The works suggest an absence of the physical body, and of action, yet a presence of spectatorship. The reassuring yet uncomfortable feeling of watching events unfold from the sidelines. 

This series of works is available through Gallery Raye.
