The flow of energy, dashes or strokes of vibrating particles. There is something very calming to me about painting the same thing over and over.
Painting detail - Overlay of brush strokes, transparency and colour variations to create a sense of depth.
Thinking about global entropy. The push and pull of politics, climate change, quantum fields, entropy, the inhospitable universe, how lucky we are to have life on earth, and how long will it take the earth to recover from current environmental disasters?

My muse, Yayoi Kusama. A Japanese artist who literally astounds me. From the moment I walked into one of her 'Infinity Rooms' at the APT at the Brisbane Art Gallery, I felt as if I had just stepped into a galaxy. I had never felt art move me in this way before. It was a total outer body experience. In the same exhibition I was mesmerised by her 'Infinity net' paintings and her large installation of giant stainless steel looking balls floating around on the surface of the water in the gallery.
I am so intrigued by Kusama's painting practice and acknowledge her tendency to repeat shapes to focus or calm the mind.
