I was pleased to be recipient of the PremierPrize presented by Judge Dr. Carole Shepheard for The space between at the annual MAC printmaking exhibition, First Impressions III (2017).  
This work is part of a series that refers to the process of navigating environments that are foreign to me and represent a map of my recollection of a collection of physical experiences and visual perspective. 

The 'navigating' series developed as the result of artist residencies in Arenys de Munt (Spain), The Art Vault (Mildura, Australia), and Rakiura-Stewart Island, (New Zealand), between 2015 and 2016. These residencies provoked a significant shift in my work, both in terms of subject and of scale.  Each of these places provided very different visual and physical experiences to draw on. While each print in this series is unique, it begins with the same print matrix on which expressive marks are laid as if creating a map for navigation.  Layers are added that include reference to previous experience or notions of home. Each layer serves to obscure and reveal, leaving a history and residue. This layering process traces a path from past to present to future.
