Trove. @ Kandos Public School
Trove will be an enclosed created space reminiscent of a cubby house. Inside the painted fabric space will be a collection of hand made magic rocks for people to sit and play with. The rocks are inspired by the various hues of colour that interchange along the Coombermelong range that envelop the town of Kandos. The idea behind the artwork is to reawaken the inner child and to encourage the audience to sit and contemplate the magic of their surroundings and their place within it.

statement:

My work is a visual expression of the emotional experience that I observe in small moments, which I refer to as sweet musings. My art reflects the magic in noticing these moments and the hidden nuances that they convey. Whether it be the pattern on a leaf, the way light can transform a mountain or a quiet ripple in a pond, I like to explore the journey of self-knowing that is partnered with such small yet sweet moments.
