Walkabout
1m x 1m
Spray paint, acrylic, and pastel on board scratched work
Walkabout is a part of a series of works which centre around aboriginal culture and the idea of a spiritual journey, the bright colours echo the same identity as the lines of a face - they become like an instilled memory of a person. I love how Australian aborigines culture embodies a sense of history with their painting techniques, and adornment and found it absolutely fascinating to work with these portraits for a few months. I absolutely adore working in this way, abstract painting techniques fuse with textured lines as I scratch back the bold paint to reveal the black board below and create a portrait imagery. Walkabout has been a part of my own personal collection for the past few years in between being exhibited around Auckland and is now available to the public.
