Walking the Boundary I
On display at Juniper Galleries , Darlington WA
76cm x 76cm
Acrylic and mixed media on stretched canvas ready to hang.
This painting captures the contrast between the tangled chaos of branches and the serene flow of the river, reflecting the complexities and calmness of life. Inspired by my daily walks along the river bordering my property in Ferguson Valley, it conveys moments of light glinting through trees, shimmering water, and nature’s quiet rhythm. These walks, a source of reflection and grounding, shape my sense of identity and belonging, much like the river shapes its boundary.

In this diptych, I employed a layered mixed-media approach to create depth and texture. I used acrylic paint as the foundational medium, building on older acrylic works to add complexity. Oil sticks, charcoal, and pencil brought expressive linework and tonal variation. I applied the media using a variety of tools, including silicone wedges, palette knives, brushes, and rags, to achieve both precise and spontaneous marks. The result is a dynamic interplay of texture, color, and form, evoking the natural chaos and calm of the landscape.
