I'm proud to announce that "A Hopeful Future" was a finalist in the Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize 2023.

I was thrilled to attend the opening and witness the quality of the other finalists. I was even more thrilled when the work was purchased on opening night!

"Out All Night, Templestowe" 2022
65x50 cm.

This work is painted over a commissioned reproduction of David Davies piece "Nocturne, Templestowe", 1896. To this beloved landscape, I have added an encroaching suburban sprawl, a glaringly bright convenience store and a monster. We find the monster awkwardly posing in the swamp as the first light of the day comes over the horizon. A scary moment indeed for anyone who's been up all night in Templstowe or anywhere else.

To finish the work, I've forged Davies' signature and co-signed it D.Davies + Mook.

The Dream (Part 2 of 3)
50cm x 50 cm

The second part of the dream. Memories of dreams are vague at best, but the feeling of the relevant moment is strong. I asked an AI to elaborate on my feeling, sharing what I could. It returned a rough pencil sketch that I then worked up into a painting filled with human feeling, drips and texture.

The Dream (Part 1 of 3)

For this work I explained a moment from a dream to an AI and asked it to sketch it for me. I made this painting from that sketch in order to establish this new image as my final memory. A vague recollection of a moment, made concrete by way of a third party collaboration

Perseverence.

Hello. My name is Perseverance. Not because I'm brave, focussed or powerful. Just because I've got to keep going.

The only way out, is through.
