No Ordinary Bliss

I have a collection of pavement images collected over the years, while walking. This one from walks last year on the way to work, Annerley to George Street.

They celebrate the quiet, unexpected joys of the urban walk.  Hemingway's  'intoxicating romance of the unusual' enjoyed in the everyday.

For this year's exhibition I'm digging into the pavement archive. Painting, re-imagining and re-photographing pavement shots to accentuate the cracks and the signs of life in the concrete landscape.

Photos of photos


Playing with photos of photos, altered and re-imagined as they are re-photographed. I'm using an extensive archive of pavement images from around the world. This one from Rome 2016.
